Alfonso, no creo que traduzca bien la frase que quería decir Ud. ¿Puede dar la frase en español y también otras palabras en cualquier idioma para que se entienda mejor?

No es una expresión. Simplemente un chiste de Alfonso. Pero se entiende.

I didn't mean I wondered you didn't understand. It was a perfectly normal question. Simply that his joke would be generally understood by a Spaniard.

Iris, do you think this kind of joke (if we could say it's a joke ) it's a kind of national sense of humour?
I ask you this because I'm really interested in catching the differences of sense of humour depending on cultural differences.

I don't know, maybe I understood because I knew what you were talking about. And sorry, I forgot it was not a joke. You were totally in earnest.
