Chicharrón
Posted on Thursday, February 25, 2010 in Mamie
I generally use this lesson to offer only the definition of the given word in Costeñol, but this word has a few more layers…making it all the more fun to figure out when it gets used in conversation.
“Costeñol Palabra del Dia”
Chicharrón (chee-chah-ROAN): noun -
1. A snack food made of the fried skin of a young pig. In the south we know these as pork rinds, however the packaged variety rarely comes with whiskers attached…
2. Used to note that someone (like Mamie for instance) has gotten a fierce sunburn. Possible sentences include:
“Wow, what a chicharrón!” or ”Put on sunscreen or you will be a chicharrón.”
3. A big problem.
Surely you can find some way to work this into your day tomorrow, right?
