  1. When people say they are going to do something “in real time” I tell them “I defy you to do it in any other kind of time.”

  2. As a retired teacher of English at the university level, I fear that once embarked on that crusade I’d be immoderate, perhaps even vengefully so.

    To avoid that, I’ll just go with a few things my southeastAsian wife uses to excess, beginning with “Putangina!” an expression of frustration or disappointment roughly equivalent to “Sonofabitch.”

    As we get older, I find that my day doesn’t seem to have properly started until I get that first Putangina! for some minor infraction, unintended offense, or brain fart.  At least she NEVER puts the possessive pronoun “mo” with it, so . . . .

    Another of her favorites is “Tarantado!” a thoroughly uncomplimentary word accusing someone of blowing things out of proportion, making Everests out of anthills.

    One more is “Intrimitido,” kinda like “meddler” in identifying someone who gives useless or unsolicited advice.

    One giant step past Intrimitido would be “Kontrabida,” a clear accusation of being a deliberate mischiefmaker, often in great need of an asskickin.

    Fortunately she rarely refers to me as “Basagulero,” a habitual troublemaker, but she does on occasion call me her “White Monkey,” which, although it doesn’t bother me, is a tag for which I have yet to formulate an appropriate riposte, since it simply BEGS for something racist in nature, and she DOES have a history of brandishing sharp, pointed instruments when annoyed.
