I've just checked because it sounded a bit weird, even to my Spanish ears, and you say camafeo.

Creo que no voy a usar esa palabra nunca. Mejor uso prendedor o colgaje o algo mejor que CAMAFEO.....

Sorry, Poli, but I said that exactly seven minutes before you.
Chincha, rabiña, tengo una piña con muchos piñones y tú no los comes. Do children say that on your side?

Ah, no......never heard of it!
So here is a "special" question. How would you translate the following: El colmo del panadero es tener una hija que se llama Concha. It's a play on words as you can see......but how would you explain it? Is there such a translation for the word "colmo"?

I usually read "Camafeo" in women's dfescriptions.
"Llevaba un bonito camafeo tallado, que representaba ......" saludos PD No pillo lo del panadero y concha ¿?

Concha is another word for the crust (la corteza). Perhaps that is play on words Elaina spoke of.
