It ain't soda or pop, its "coke". As in: "what flavor of coke do you want?". Northerners.. always messing words up.  |

LOL... I'm from the north (born and raised in Oregon), and I've always called carbonated beverages coke too. I don't know how many times I've been corrected for calling a Dr Pepper, a Mountain Dew or a Barq's root beer, among other things, "coke" by people who don't know that the nickname of Coca-Cola is an umbrella term referring to any flavor of carbonated drink in some parts of the US. |

I think it is just an spanish idiom, and as an idiom it shouldn´t be translated cuz your not going to understand what does it means just through a translation...
but I´m almost sure that the spanish saying means "shrimp which get asleep is so fucked up".. the term "la chingada" means "fucked up"...
like "me lleva la chingada" = "i´m so fucked up"
sorry about my poor english, hope you get the idea...

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth."
That's a Spanish saying?

| I have to tell you that when I was in China, this type of idiomatic saying takes a long time to understand. They just don't have a concept like ducks in a row. I once spent half an hour teaching a Chinese engineer how to use the phrase bada bing bad boom. She used it at the next meeting, correctly used it, it was hilarious, but then the Germans were confused, we had to explain it to them. |

Nonetheless, its all Spanish. Just like Australians, Americans and Englishmen all speak different forms of the same language.
