Barba
 

This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for August 5, 2008

barba - feminine noun (la) - beard. Look up barba in the dictionary

A algunas mujeres no les gusta ni barba ni bigote en un hombre.
Some women don't like men with a beard or a mustache.

Barba also means chin.

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...:love:

I've heard.....

barbilla = chin

Also, when you are trying to bribe (in a way) someone....uno le hace la barba...for example:

Mom: Sosia ya te dije que no vas al baile esta noche.

Sosia: Pero mamá tu sabes que todos mis amigos estarán ahí.

Mom: No, ya dije que no y no quiero hablar más del asunto.

Más tarde......

Mamá, te lavé el auto y fuí a la panadería a comprarte esas empanadas que tanto te gustan. (Sosia le está haciendo la barba a su mamá para que cambie de decisión.

:p:p

- 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.

Al pobre Sosia le pasa de todo, primero se creen que es una chica, luego le ponen de ejemplo de hijo espabiladillo...;)
Great example,Elaina.

Sean Connery????

Bueno, dicen en México que "un beso con alguien sin bigote es como comer un taco sin chile"!!

:p

The beard in a man

In Mexico the womens, prefer the mans with beard, it's the gusto the girls youngs, more the girls of the high school.

If you wait a little more you'll only have his skeleton. :love: (But beard, nails and hair keeps on growing after death).

BTW, you've just come back, and you are again the same manizer. :rolleyes:

This is a new kiss I didn't know. You never stop learning about kisses!

(I've never been kissed by a bearded man, either ;)).

Gracias Alfonso por compartir esta información con nosotros....

No necesita ser hombre con bigote........puede ser mujer con bigote....

:eek::eek:

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.

Elaina, eres un puntazo (I'm back :pelota::pelota::pelota:)

What's manizer?

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.

Alfonso was using his very own personal version of the feminine of womaniser.
You just put me off my dinner, Poli...

Manizer of course. I'm so tonto.
I was looking it up in Spanish dictionaries:o

Elaina, the point is... Did sosia go to the ball?
Really, you must know I'm married. Next time change "mama" with "esposa" and "ir al baile" with "jugar a cartas con los amigos" and it's a recent example.
Here we say "hacer la pelota" (Gemma can give you all information you need about this subject.)
Saludos :D

I can come over...;)

Not silly, just cute.;)
