    Spanish Vocabulary
    From Nerdlandia
    By: Sabrina Laca
    Shameless

    “Sinverguenza!
    Right away he
    wants to step in all Sinverguenza
    suave.”

    -pg 6

    I thought it meant ‘idiot’ instead


    of shameless.
    Too, also

    “Are you kissing the pillow


    tambien?” Tambien
    -pg 12

    I thought it meant
    passionately, or something
    along those lines.
    heart

    “My corazon is set on Ceci.” Corazon


    -pg 12

    I thought it meant ‘heart’, i was


    right.
    Shut up

    “Susanna: Callate already!” Callate


    -pg 21

    I thought it meant ‘pull yourself together’


    rather than ‘shut up’.
    jerks

    “Susana: Huevonies to the


    ninth degree!” Huevonies
    - pg 22

    I thought it meant rude, I was almost


    correct.
    Disgusting

    “When he and the girl were


    making out, one of his rubber
    bands shot into her mouth Asco
    Lupe: Asco!”

    -pg 24

    I thought Asco meant ‘gross’.


    Be careful

    “Lupe: cuidado! Joaquin


    hangs out with those tontos,
    Freddie and Tito.”
    cuidado
    -pg 29

    I thought cuidado meant ‘no’ and


    Lupe was saying that she doesn’t
    approve of Susana’s crush.
    bakery

    “Tito: mi abuelita
    worked at this
    panaderia.”
    Panaderia
    -pg 33

    I thought Panaderia
    meant ‘shop’.
    Your face

    “Show us su
    cara!”
    Su Cara
    -pg 36

    I thought su cara meant


    ‘where you are’.
    Total crap

    “(The parrot sings, “Puro


    Pedo”)”
    Puro Pedo
    -pg 36

    I thought puro pedo was a bad


    word, though I did not know
    which one.
    Story

    “I remember that cuento


    from when I was a kid.”
    Cuento
    -pg 37

    I thought cuento meant ‘tale’, I was


    slightly off.
    Very crazy

    “He was muy loco,


    el viejo”
    Muy Loco
    -pg 41

    I thought muy loco meant ‘weird’


    or ‘out of the ordinary’.
    snotty

    “We should get into


    engineering. Or become
    doctors. We could help the
    mocoso babies when they come Mocoso
    in all sick.”

    -pg 42

    I thought mocoso meant ‘little’ or ‘young’.


    well

    “Ceci: Bien. I’m going to


    go home and practice
    being a nerd.”
    Bien
    -pg 49
    I thought bien meant ‘I
    guess’.
    And we

    “Susana: y
    nosotros, we go like
    Y nosotros
    this…”

    -pg 48

    I thought y nosotros meant ‘and


    girls’ rather than ‘and we’.
    I liked... I disliked...
    ● The way the plot was set up
    ● The humor throughout the story ● That the characters would repeat one
    ● The way the character traits were idea multiple times
    presented early in the story ● That the main idea is a little hard to
    ● That most of the words that are understand
    foreign to me were easy to
    understand using context clues
    ● That the character groups would
    cross paths but not talk to one
    another until the last scene

    Overall
    The story was interesting and funny, I
    enjoyed it.
