pollopequenistas (Chicken-Little-ists for the Spanish-impaired)

You mean the Spanglish-impaired, surely.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

Re: Local Warming (none / 1)

yes sorry, that's of course not a native Spanish term, and I shoulda said "for the Latinate root impaired" or something like that. not sure where that one comes from -- I don't think I made it up, maybe I read it someplace or heard it on the bus? otoh there is no google hit for it which seems fishy... maybe I did make it up? the "-ista" ending seems to be seeping into non-Hispanophone US English, as in 'fashionista', btw.

my apologies for any implication that this was an echt Spanish word!

The difference between theory and practise in practise ...

Re: Local Warming (none / 1)

I don't think many in Spanish-speaking countries know who Chicken Little is in the first place.
