If you have taken basic Spanish, you probably know it’s a
day of the week (Wednesday, at that). So we were driving two hours into the
communities on the dirt roads which had areas that were a little too muddy to
risk.
MIERcoles! Llovió mucho aca! our driver said. “Wednesday,
it rained a lot here!” was the direct translation. Which was confusing because it was
Wednesday and not raining, and rain from a week ago would have dried…
That’s when Jackie pointed out that Carlos and his family
talk about Miércoles a lot like that.
Instead of saying mierda, or “shit”,
they switch it up at the last moment to say “Wednesday!”. Like saying “Shoot!”
or something of the sorts. Anyways, I
think it’s very cute, and will certainly be talking about Wednesday a lot more : )
