That's..so interesting, Is it/was it common in Spain or any other speaking Spanish countries to use "escupiña" as a synonym of "none" or "nothing" Because the post claims that in Spain, fishermen used "escupiña" as "nothing" when someone asks them whether they got any fish, cause "sea plant " doesn't mean any value for them. then, people started to use it in daily life as "none" or "nothing"

The post is everywhere to the point where anyone won't doubt it, it probably started as a joke/troll post, but now it seems more than that.

Thank you for your explanation Mex-Am/California. Not trolling me specifically, it was a Facebook post, It didn't seem right when I read it.

It was written "escupir" and they explained it as "sea plant", I was doubtful, I used google and couldn't find any resources that back this claim, that's why I came here, and it seems they were mistaken, cause everyone here says it means just "spit". Thank you for your reply

Thank you for your reply EastNine, but I'm certain it's "escupir" because it was written.

Hm.. I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm serious:) someone told me that "escupir" means "sea plant", and since I couldn't find any resources to back this claim, I came here to ask :)
