Right Duende.....driving around and getting lost as far as the "quinto pino"...."the boondocks"..or "out in the toolies"....(is that just a Canadian expression....or does everyone know what "out in the toolies" means?) Chuchangos....caracoles.....snails. Similar to sending someone to "freir espárrago".....go fry snails , or go fry asparagus.....in other words..... get lost! ![]()

| I was totally baffled by this word, which of course mean the wives. But in the context it made no sense. Men are being arrested by police, and the police are saying 'come quietly', and show them the contents of a bag. Del bolsillo del policia asomaban los plateados flejes de las esposas. ??????? Only after some search, I realized that las esposas not only means wives but also handcuffs. Why the connection? ![]() ![]() ![]()
