Good times in Etymology...

Spartan Reader: Tengo Hambre

Unless you are fluent in Spanish, you're probably wondering what the title "tengo hambre" means. The literal translation is "pin this," and that is exactly what people are doing on the fast-growing website, Pinterest.

Myself and my commrade were able to accomplish a fantastic joke on one of our fellow classmates. We'll call this fellow classmate "Raelynn." She wanted to write a blog about Pinterest so I suggested she name her blog title with "Tengo Hambre" and I told her it meant, "pin this." In reality, it means "to have hunger" so already this is an awkward situation because she is believing everything I'm saying. Once she finally buys into this scheme and names her blog, she then proceeds to describe the phrase as if she actually knows what's shes talking about but really, just looks, well, stupid to an actual fluent Spanish speaker.

:) April fools.
