Brazo
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for November 11, 2009

brazo (masculine noun (el)) — arm, fork (river), neck (guitar), leg (animal). Look up brazo in the dictionary

Cuando me rompí el brazo, lo tuve enyesado por 6 semanas.
When I broke my arm, it was in a cast for 6 weeks.

Entonces, ¿humanos andan en dos piernas, pero muchos de los animales andan en cuatro brazos? ¿Es esta la manera correcta de decirlo?

Los humanos andan sobre dos piernas y los animales andan sobre cuatro patas (no brazos )

Gracias ... entonces, en la definición anterior dice que "(leg) animals". ¿Cuándo se puede utilizar en ese contexto?

leg: pierna de una persona o pata de un animal.

arm: brazo.

Creo que está mal la traducción de leg como brazo.

Sí, ¿pero qué tiene que ver con la "leg" de un animal?

Nothing - this was just as a mnemonic for brazo = arm, not leg, because embracing involves arms, not legs.

Er- well, usually.

No puedo olvidar brazo de reina/ brazo de gitana.
¿Hay una diferencia? Creo que se dice brazo de reina in las américas
y brazo de gitana en España. ¿Estoy en lo cierto?

No sé brazo de gitana, pero brazo de reina es lo más rico del mundo. En Chile se hace con manjar (dulce de leche).

¿"Brazo de reina" y "brazo de gitana" son alimentos?

Do you mean "brazo de gitano"? This is a "brazo de gitano" (there are individual ones, too). I don't know if it is the same that "brazo de reina":

Chocolate, castaña, crema de limón, o cualquera crema dulce.
Alguien debe inventar un brazo de gitano/reina salado relleno de una crema de ajo tomates y cebollas y el obligatorio queso mozzarella.

Well I guess that depends on how errr 'spunky' you want the embrace to be...

En holandés se llama 'omhelzing' ('helz' se ha derivado de la palabra 'hals' lo que significa 'el cuello') u 'omarming' ('arm' = brazo, 'om'=cerca).

Aquí son de nata, crema o trufa (chocolate con nata y mantequilla).

Apruebo la moción de un brazo de gitano salado (con mucha mozzarella, pero sin salsa de ajos)
