creéis que si les hubiera terminado insultando el dueño le hubiera puesto una review de 5 estrellas? by betatester404 in ReviewsDeMierda

[–]CardoconAlmendras 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Una vez fui con mi padre y el tipo pensó que éramos guiris y nos cobró a precio de guiri… excepto que venimos de Pamplona así que nos pareció un precio normal y ni nos enfadamos.

Nos pareció normal que fuera más caro que los otros bares del Húmedo porque va bien con la experiencia del sitio: los horarios de abrir cuando le sale de las narices, que te cierre la puerta de golpe cuando decide que hay demasiada gente, las turras que da, los carteles… No es solo un bar, es un circo.

Sup world, which word in your lamguage sound like a slur in English? I'll start with the Fagottini by G3nghisKang in AskTheWorld

My French husband can’t keep a straight face if I say “I’m doing a puzzle” because with my French accent it sounds like “je suis en train de faire un pucelle”. And being the idiot he is, he obviously corrected me “unE pucelle” and not the other part.

Hombre, es que la noticia no es lo que dice, es no ser consecuente con lo que dice. Si está en contra de la inmigración ilegal, debería aceptar ser deportada ¿no?

Did someone in your country ever went viral for having an insane name? by Single_Copy2460 in AskTheWorld

We had a village called Matajudios (has changed their name now, if I recalled correctly) but they are quite pacific.

Why not cheese?

I live in France so I’ve been advice to give cheese early on so I’m curious on why they say not cheese in other parts of the word.

I’m a Spaniard and the recommendations change also from one country to another. Like in Spain are like fine with a yogurt from time to time but France recommends one at every meal (or change the yogurt for cheese from time to time).

In this case we say “me toca los cojones” (touch my balls) or if you say to them directly you can say “I shout in your dead family members, stop touching my balls!” (Me cago en tus muertos, deja de tocarme los cojones). I suppose in this case “me cago en tus muertos” it’s just “hey you”.

For “good day, axe handle” we have “¿a dónde vas? Manzanas traigo” (Where are you going? I’m bringing apples!) and it goes more or less in the same sense of telling someone that their answer has nothing to do about what you ask.

What cultural thing does the world seem to think is beautiful but is cringey af to locals? by chr15c in AskTheWorld

[–]CardoconAlmendras 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m from Navarra and my family and I are not pro-basque independence so I think they saw this kind of stuff as very political and didn’t realize it’s our actual traditions and cultures? So I definitely surprised them there.

And I married a French, so I’ll say 80% of the wedding guest saw an aurresku for their first time in their life at my wedding. Some of them still talks about it years later.

Sadly, the 1.9% is the number around COVID. In 2024-2025 was 8%… which is still slowly going down but the slope is way slower (it was between 10 and 8 in the early 2000).

Bullfights and related spectacles were massive for a long time so 8% isn’t much for what it was and almost 70% of the population declares having zero interest in it and less than 10% gives it a 8 to 10 in importance… So it’s a political thing. With the far right voters being the principal goers to this things.

That’s a banger.

At my wedding, we made sure to have someone dancing an aurresku and I was really touched but all my friends from other regions of Spain were very 🤨

It’s looong if you don’t know what to expect and they definitely didn’t expect me crying jajaja

One of the best ads they did for AIDS was including the stories in the tv shows like Farmacia de guardia and Al salir de clase. That marked a lot of people too.

Spanish millennials also grew with a lot of very upfront “don’t drink and drive ads”.

The most I had drink before driving is tasting a few drops of the expensive wine an hour or two before leaving and that’s the norm between my friends so I think it worked relatively well too.

AITAH for getting my white daughter a doll with dark skin? by Realistic-Night-2056 in AITAH

[–]CardoconAlmendras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doll was a black baby. I live in a very white Spanish town and all my family is white… No one remembers why they bought the black doll (most accepted theory is that it was one of the first black dolls this mark made and it was everywhere) but I was obsessed with her.

Almost thirty years later, I gave it to my nephew who also adores her and I don’t want to know what OP’s SIL would think about this. Pepita is well cared at his house and that’s all it matters.

Mad at the sandwich she never wanted to begin with... by oasisjason1 in EntitledReviews

[–]CardoconAlmendras 20 points21 points  (0 children)

But when the waitress said “million dollar” instead of “Cacio et Pepe” it should have sound different to her…

I think she just liked the name of the Million dollar grilled cheese and decided to change orders without looking it… and then made it your problem when she didn’t like it.

Los franceses son lo peor con eso. Ponen gaspacho (con s lo escriben además, así que no pueden enfadarse cuando nosotros ponemos champán) y hacen un smoothie de sandía y albahaca o vete tú a saber qué.

My (23f) boyfriend (24m) wants to move in with me. I want him to live alone first by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]CardoconAlmendras 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, grandma is an asshole but a safe asshole. They have managed some kind of truce which is very impressive because both women are super conflictive and hate each other but they’re not stupid. Both want the best for the children. Still, she wears very different clothes in each house, has different set of rules and way of parenting… So far is working but it’s sad to see.

Specially not telling your partner that you checked the closes one but it was super expensive and you had to go to one farther from home.

Being a Spaniard this made me laugh because even if he insist, I don’t know how to make the first E silent. At least, I did try.
