Unfortunately they were lacking a little huevos at yesterday's game, but they played well and they will advance. <br /><br />Merida doesn't have a pro women's soccer team, but I imagine the remark after a win would be the same, A HUEVO, cuz soccer is a physical sport and pro women players would also HAVE BALLS AS BIG AS CHURCH BELLS if you ask me! <br /><br />Anon2: I don't think Anon1 is kidding about the cajones, but the melons remark, yes I think it was written in fun....come on, lighten up,laugh a little. <br /><br />So why all of a sudden everyone is writing anonymously?Linda Dortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298495135726004606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542179327850698809.post-21731451180377977822010-06-20T17:30:30.469-07:002010-06-20T17:30:30.469-07:00Are you kidding?Are you kidding?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542179327850698809.post-41852632060329040002010-06-19T13:05:38.756-07:002010-06-19T13:05:38.756-07:00My command of Mexican Spanish is lacking, as even ...My command of Mexican Spanish is lacking, as even the little I've learned was acquired in Spain. But I would imagine that 'a huevo' might be translated as 'What balls!' (implying that 'we — the winners — have such balls.') Of course, I'm not speaking of soccer balls. <br /><br />The phrase sounds like a reference to eggs, which are the anatomical idiom of choice, at least in Spain, for that part of a man's body known in English as testicles. But what do they shout if a womans team wins? — 'a melones?' (I'd love to know.) Brazil has a womans team. Is there such a group sport in Merida?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
