Poli,
We say barbilla over here. Daily word, Being a "lowly machine" you are only able to deal with generalizations, but I have to tell you it depends on the man. I don't usually go for beards, but give me Sean Connery any day...

- Un gato tiene bigotes.
- Cuando las barbas de tu vecino veas quemar, pon las tuyas a remojar. - Barba Azul (same as in English, but anyway...) BTW Angela Carter has a beautifully written if somewhat gory version of the Bluebeard story. It is called The Bloody Chamber. Worth reading.

If you wait a little more you'll only have his skeleton. (But beard, nails and hair keeps on growing after death).
BTW, you've just come back, and you are again the same manizer.

You don't like Sean Connery, Elaina? I didn't like him when he was young, but I think he looks great now.
Alfonso, a holiday in England is great fun but it doesn't work miracles. I'm still the same person, warts and all, as the saying goes.

Barbudo is a kind of fish that South Americans with primitive plumbing know well. They refuse to eat barbudo and I won't tell you why but primitive plumbing is a clue.
