The Eternal Thread: There can be only one

Harlot Hispanic?

Spanish Harlot, to be more specific.

Long story.

Heh, I can't wait to hear that one day.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Was CO ever under Spanish rule? I can't recall... Or there might've been some Mexican influence there too. As I'm not well acquainted with US history, I don't know. But perhaps that's the reason for some many Spanish words permeating the vocabulary.

Of course, I was ver amused by Americans using the word 'cojones' so much.

It was, Spanish then French (though the Spanish actually settled Colorado, the French never did). A lot of the older places here have Spanish names. San Luis Valley, Rio Grande, Pueblo, Mesa Verde, Garcia, &c. While newer places (Post 1800) have English place names.

Then it makes sense. Although I gotta tell you, using words like 'cañon' ain't an easy feat for many English speakers.

He had a nation that played a highly conservative and religious person. He would call me ''Harlotus Hispanus' in jest.

He was a great poster.

Why are we talking about cannons?

Haha. There is a place here called Cañon City and I was so confused when someone here (on NS) corrected me saying "Canyon City". I'd never seen it spelt that way before.

In this sense, we're actually talking about 'canyons'.

Ah, interesting.

I've heard, read, his name prior, but never interacted with him.

Cañon= canyon

Funny thing is, in Spanish the word for 'canyon' and the word for 'cannon' is the same. That's what perhaps confused you.

He's no longer around.

Hmm, never heard the word used that way before. But then we don't exactly have many canyons or Spanish books on geography here

Hello NSG

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Indeed.

For example: El Gran Cañon del Colorado- refers to the Great Canyons in CO. But you can say 'cañon' to refer to a cannon too.

Oh, is it? I didn't know that, I know cañon as what other English speaker's would call a canyon. I was confused because I didn't know it was spelt another way, actually. I knew it as cañon or gorge.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Then it makes sense. Although I gotta tell you, using words like 'cañon' ain't an easy feat for many English speakers.

Cañon= canyon

Or, in another context, 'cannon'. But I'm certain that the place Cill referred to had the name referring to canyon.

It's pretty easy for me. . Sounds largely like the English word "canyon".

If there's no joke about that somewhere in the Spanish literary world, then your language has failed. You can go back to speaking Latin and hope to do better next time

Ah, that's a shame then.

Yeah, it is. Which is funny because of the translations, sometimes.

[Disserbia]

Yes mother.

Damn Serbs, with their 'mother' talk

Don't be silly lots of cultures have a mommy fixation, maybe not quite as bad though. Anyway I don't know about you but the only I tell my mother is "remove hijab".

Actually, it sounds nothing like it. Maybe it sounds that way to you, as a native English speaker, but to me, both words sounds very different.

I'm sure there's one. I just don't know it.

Alright then, damn Georgians (pwn'd by Russians Georgians, not fat Georgians) with their word for Dad being 'Ma' and word for Mum being 'Da'

I can see how that would have led to a war with Russia.

Indeed. It was a mining town (an old mining town), and is next to a lot of cañons. It is near the Royal Gorge.
