Inside my beer cap Posted by valerie :)* on February 10, 2015, 11:52 am just opened my beer to go with lunch, and printed inside the Victoria Beer cap is written "dejar de odiar a mi suegra" - is this "stop hating my mother?" and if so, although a good sentament why is it written on the inside of the bottle cap? Just asking' 'cause I don't know. . . . . ------------------------ Re: Inside my beer cap Posted by mark on February 10, 2015, 12:10 pm, in reply to "Inside my beer cap" 64.134.152.64 New Year's resolutions inside the cap. This one is "Stop hating my mother-in-law." Keep drinking, I'm curious what the rest of them say. ------------------------ Re: Inside my beer cap Posted by valerie :)* on February 10, 2015, 12:25 pm, in reply to "Re: Inside my beer cap" Here are 2 others - from other lunches, other than mine :o) Hacerle entender a mi suegro que no soy un vago and Dejar de ser cursi y ser más ruido (make it clear to my mother-in-law that I'm not vague?) (stop being cheesy and be more rough?) Thanks for any help with the translation, Mark! ------------------------ Re: Inside my beer cap Posted by mark on February 10, 2015, 12:46 pm, in reply to "Re: Inside my beer cap" 64.134.152.64 "Make it clear to my father-in-law that I am not a slacker." and the second one probably reads "rudo" not "ruido" and so means "be less corny (or cheesy) and be more crude (unsophisticated)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudo_y_Cursi ------------------------ Re: Inside my beer cap Posted by valerie :)* on February 10, 2015, 1:08 pm, in reply to "Re: Inside my beer cap" Right - "a" for fem and "o" for masc - thanks for the translations, Mark - much appreciated. ------------------------ beer is good Posted by mark on February 10, 2015, 1:20 pm, in reply to "Re: Inside my beer cap" 64.134.152.64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-jOEAufDQ4 ------------------------ Re: Inside my beer cap Posted by Jo Anna on February 10, 2015, 12:54 pm, in reply to "Re: Inside my beer cap" My dictionary shows 'cursi' as showy or pretentious. These are fun; though clearly, I'm going to have to change beer brand in order to up the entertainment value! :O) ------------------------ Re: Inside my beer cap Posted by valerie :)* on February 11, 2015, 1:05 pm, in reply to "Inside my beer cap" 201.138.183.184 today's message: Dejar de andar de bolsa (stop walking bag?) I knew this language would get the best of me ------------------------ Re: Inside my beer cap Posted by Jo Anna on February 11, 2015, 1:23 pm, in reply to "Re: Inside my beer cap" Perhaps there should be a comma in there. . . and maybe a capital on the last word! :O) ------------------------ Re: Inside my beer cap Posted by mark on February 11, 2015, 1:54 pm, in reply to "Re: Inside my beer cap" 64.134.152.64 "Bolsa" in this case refers to the stock exchange. "Andar en bolsa" means to trade stocks in the market. ------------------------ I correct myself Posted by mark on February 11, 2015, 3:30 pm, in reply to "Re: Inside my beer cap" 64.134.152.64 "Corredor de bolsa" is a stock broker (literally "the one who runs the bag"). "Andar en la bolsa" means "to sell shares of a publicly traded company in the Exchange". "Andar de bolsa" is a tote bag such as commonly used shopping or traveling. So I'm a little bewildered by this one. Perhaps "Leave behind the tote bag." Or perhaps "Stop living out of a bag." Or perhaps "Stop shopping." http://www.shutterstock.com/es/pic-350094/stock-photo--an-old-woman-with-bag-walking-in-a-bus-station-japan.html?src=&ws=1 ------------------------ Re: I correct myself Posted by valerie :)* on February 11, 2015, 6:39 pm, in reply to "I correct myself" Don't let it be "stop shopping" ------------------------ Re: I correct myself Posted by Red on February 11, 2015, 7:49 pm, in reply to "Re: I correct myself" 187.148.140.190 Saw one recently on Bictoria; "If your tired of being fat and ugly, go on a diet, and you will only be ugly."
