Lodo
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for November 7, 2008
lodo - masculine noun (el) - mud, mire. Look up lodo in the dictionary Cuando llueve, el polvo se hace lodo. When it rains, the dust turns to mud.

I've heard soquete (???) used for lodo in Sonora, México and have heard some salvadorean friends use it in reference to children ie., Esos soquetes me están volviendo loca.

I don't know what to make of this........ I am wondering why someone would use "soquetes" for children....... or mud for that matter.... Rusty? David? Sosia? Jaime? A special invitation to the bright, intelligent women of the forum......

As you both have said, soquete is another word for lodo (mud).
It also means calcetines cortos in Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Paraguay. The word I would imagine someone might use to refer to children is zoquete (tonto, torpe). But, because these words are pronounced the same everywhere but in Spain, they are often interchanged. You can find both words used for lodo and tontería.

zoquete: tonto, torpe, but sometimes it can refer to naughty, mischievous children, because they don't think at what they do.
