¿Cómo supiste? Otro de tus talentos ha de ser leer la mente, porque la verdad si me dio pena hacer esa pregunta tan sencilla. In English it's called a brain fart. Se me fué la onda.

It happens to all, at one time or another.

By the way, how old are you.

You might be having CRS syndrome too!

I suppose S*** is "something" (I can't remember something ), is it? or is it a bad word? In this case, I can't imagine which one. Well, it's not important, just curiosity

What you don't know, can't hurt you... well, most of the time.

@irmamar: en realidad nadie te toma el pelo... pero todas esas fórmulas son más bien adolescentes y me remiten al tiempo en que las aprendí.

...y c.r.a.f.t. tiene un significado concreto

I think I understand... But I know that nobody "me toma el pelo", it was a joke

But are these things colloquial? or maybe have you invented?

I forgot the "" smiley... I was following the joke.

I don't know if they're widely used, but I don't think the people from whom I leant those things had invented them at all.
