15 pages full of writing. 2 1/2 hours to do the exam. One very sore writing finger.... the only cure? Holding my poor writing finger next to an ice-cold beer. That was my Tuesday.
pressies delivered Ob - now we have to work out what to cook with the stuff that won't blow most of our brains out - I don't count Snerg's brain, it can deal with much more than the rest of us ;-)
It is very tasty stuff; I mostly stuck to the "mild" version myself, but I quite like it. Made and marketed by a neighbor who grew up in Texas picking chiltepins off of bushes and snacking on them.
The name, if your Spanish slang is a little rusty, comes from the ending -ada which indicates the past participle, and the root verb chingar, which... is a root verb, so to speak. Its fairly descriptive of what you would be if you ate it by the spoonful, imo.
Actually, I'm kinda amused by it myself. I learned it myself years ago working summers in my uncles pear orchards with an almost-entirely Mexican crew, but I thought I'd go look it up before passing it along - some of the things I learned in those summers weren't so much with the true.
Turns out its not so much a word which means "to fornicate" as the word which is used almost exactly like we use "fuck". There are versions for "Fuck off", and "a fuckload", and "fuckin-a!" and "fuckin around"; all of which have totally different literal meanings. I'm amused that Spanish-speakers also use the same word for all of them. Language is weird.

A beer sounds like the perfect antidote to 2.5 hours of intense writing.
I hate those cramps.
Hooray for beer!
Horray for end of exam!!
How many more?
"An" ice-cold beer? Not only does it sound insufficient, but I don't believe it for a second.
Go visit Miss Lou - we sent pressies, but were cheap-ass about the postage and put them all in one box...
Had more than one beer
Two more subjects left to go
Boo to faux haiku!

Will be using chillis as required. Have sampled the jar labelled "Snerg Hot". Yes it is quite warm :-) Very tasty too!

Heh... that's quite funny :) My Spanish slang was a bit too rusty for that!
