Lap?
 
How do you say "lap" in Spanish? Not lap around, say, a track, but the lap formed when one sits down.

Regazo is the standard translation for lap. You can also use "en las/mis piernas", which sounds more natural in some cases. For example (to a child) "Do you want to sit on my lap?" = "¿Quieres sentarte en mis piernas?".

Yeah, Lee Ying, we put our laptops on TOP of our LAPs. That's where the name comes from.

Warning! Be careful not to confuse dancers from Lapland and Poland with LAP DANCERS and POLE DANCERS.
