How many of you have eaten garlie bread or sanguiches? Do you care for some breah’fast? Would you like to buy some shoes at the local shoe store, Athlete’s Foot? Perhaps you are hungry for some "desset" after your meal - hmmm, they must have gotten that from a British tourist. Spanish Americanisms often give us a good laugh. They take a phrase they hear and spell and use it however they heard it. How about the title of this post – can anyone guess what English phrase it represents? Good luck.
Google translate puts "Sapo Verde" as "Green Toad."
ReplyDeleteThat's the translation. They say it sometimes though as an "English" phrase.
ReplyDeleteOooh. That's tough. Give up.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll give a hint:
ReplyDeleteSay it more like "api verde".
Happy Birthday?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteYes! They wish people: "Green Frog!" on their birthdays, just to be funny.
