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...

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.

- 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.

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 ).

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.

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.

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.)
