If you feel like you need more information about this subject, take a look at the grammar section and the article about Spanish compound nouns. By the way, chupatintas is a compound noun, because it’s formed by a verb (in the third person of singular) and a noun in plural. The Spanish equivalent of the word penpusher literally means “ink drinker”. Why is that funny? Grab a dictionary and check out what “polla” and “bobo” means. In Canary Islands this is the equivalent of the word “gilipollas” (which is slighlty vulgar). Literally the rain that soaks stupid people. In Spain you can say that there is a lluvia mojabobos.
This fine drizzle which is not too heavy but which seems to be eternal, do you know this feeling?
SPANISH WORD OF THE DAY MEME FREE
Of course, these are not the only ones, so if you have your favourite hilarious Spanish words, feel free to share them with in the comment section! And in the meanwhile, take a seat, relax and smile! Lluvia mojabobos My list is based on Spanish words that sound comical if you translate them literally. Very often I hear words that make me smile or laugh which is the best therapy against the winter and the lack of sun. The Spanish language is not an exception here. Sometimes it’s because they mean something different in their language (this phenomenon is known as false friends), sometimes because they sound hilarious and so on. In every language there are always words or expressions that make smile the foreigners.
