Funny way to say “Egg” in Spanish.

Short answer: Nothing

Long answer: Actually, nothing

Before the pandemic, I was already remote working because all I did was connect my computer to servers in a warehouse 20 kilometers away from the office I had to be at.

Now, every person in my department is literally hundreds of kilometers away from each other, and we MUST go to each office to do the same things we could do staying at home. I lose 3 hours daily (waking up early, preparing meals, going to the office, and returning…) because of this nonsense.

Also, the building I have to go to doesn’t belong to my employer. The contract ends this year and, instead of sending us home again, my employer has rented another building that’s FARTHER than the current one. We’re pretty sure this is just money laundering or the building belongs to a friend.

People are leaving for remote jobs, and our bosses are still wondering why.

Shut it!

In Spain we use “Fulano de Tal”. It seems Fulano comes from the arabic language, meaning “Anybody”. We use it when we don’t the name of a person we are talking about, or we really don’t care to know the name. Apart of Fulano, we also use Mengano.

Fulano/Mengano for men, Fulana/Mengana for women.

I guess our John/Jane Smith would be Pepe/Pepa García.

Hot Fuzz

As you wish.

Maybe now you think they don’t work, but I tell you from my personal experience they will.

Glasses.

I don’t mind wearing contact lenses, but I don’t like having to do it every day when I wake up. And don’t even get me started on having to take off the contact lenses when you get home after partying and drinking.

In Spain we say “Hacer un Perfect” (To do a Perfect) when the poop goes clean through the toilet without flushing and, after wiping, the paper remains white.

Do you call it that way too? When was your last “Perfect”?
