No digas eso. No tiene ningún sentido.

Gracias. Ya lo había entendido... estaba un poco de cachondeo (broma) (ie. I was kidding a bit.)

(Muy bien dicho... your Spanish was perfect here!)

Well, as long as you keep going, you'll get there.
In Spanish there is a saying, "Todo se andará"
Hermit answered Robin's question about this expression, which means = "that's all right.", "that's OK.", "so be it.",
"it shall be done."

(Literally, 'everything will be walked' or "all the paths will be walked on" as long as you keep walking...)

(No offense to Mr. Lancaster" but it has a rhyming effect that 'makes the point'... with a bit of sarcasm... I must say.
None of the above, nor my previous posts using this "bad" language is intended to offend anyone... if I did, my apologies... "my bad"
I got it.
Pablo.

The word should be less rude and impolite if you say La regue as Angelica said before in her post, although I think if you are speaking with a man and you know it, between man to man you can speak freely and says La cage.

Of course if that don't offending you or if you consider rudeness the word, therefore, I believe that is funny the phrase you have said before La cagaste burt, never I have heard that expression between the Mexican people but that sound very funny at least for me that sound funny and suck me.

Now if you don't want to be impolite for your principles and if you don't want to say bad words, then you can incline you for the La regaste phrase.

Sincerely yours.

Yes, I will be more polite today.

Yes, when someone try to say some kind of rudeness in my present, then I will give him a hand soap for his mouth..

Sincerely yours.

There you go, Crotalito, ("There you go" is an expression of approval I don't know if you have heard of this before from English speakers.)
