6B Daily News – Saturday, October 22, 2011 Latin Americans separated by the same language GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) — The United States and England are often described as two countries separated by a common language. So imag- ine the potential for confusion, curiosity and laughs around the Pan American Games, where Spanish — in all its variations — is the official language of about half the 42 competing nations. ''There are lots of different words, but the first ones we want to learn are the vulgari- ties that others use,'' Colom- bian water polo player Carlos Toro said. Modesto Aguero, a sports commentator on Cuban televi- sion, recalls making his first visit to Mexico 35 years ago, a 20-something looking forward to a night out. He was stumped when he understood his Mexi- can friend to suggest the fol- lowing. ''Let's go jump on a semi- trailer truck, go to town and find a couple of older women.'' Semitralier truck? Old women? ''Hey, I didn't come to Mexico to go out with old women and to ride around in an 18-wheeler. Let's go a find a car and some young women,'' Aguero remembered saying. It was all in Spanish, but the meanings differed quite a bit. ''Viejas,'' the usual word in Spanish for ''older women,'' can be used colloquially in Mexico to also mean young women. But not in Cuba, where it carries only the usual meaning. The word ''camion'' in Spanish usually refers to an 18-wheeler, but in Mexico it means ''bus.'' ''These were words or ways of speaking that I didn't know,'' Aguero recalled. The list of differences approaches infinite. Innocent verbs or nouns in one country can be supercharged words in another, often referring to something sexual. The names for fruits and vegetables, kinds of fish, cuts of meat invariably cause confusion. Then add the varied pronunci- ations to the brew. In a shopping mall near the Pan American Games venues, several banners welcome Spanish speakers, each one tailored to the slang of Argentina, Colombia or Venezuela. Even the word ''padre,'' which every beginning Span- ish student knows means father, has an additional mean- ing in Mexico, where it can Doomsday prediction doesn't happen SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A California ministry that warned the end of the world would come Friday awoke to discover that Earth was under- going its usual gyrations with no signs of a cataclysmic event. Oakland-based Family Radio International stirred a global frenzy when it predicted the rap- ture would take 200 million Christians to heaven on May 21. Its most recent pronouncement said natural disasters would destroy the globe on Friday. Though two moderate quakes did jolt the San Francis- co Bay area on Thursday and floods still threaten to swamp Bangkok, the planet remained intact. The ministry and its 90-year- old leader, Harold Camping, are avoiding the media this time around and perhaps a repeat of the international mockery that followed the previous predic- tion. Calls to the ministry went to voicemail and were unreturned. Camping, who suffered a mild stroke three weeks after his prediction failed to materialize in May, still spreads the word through his Family Radio Inter- national website. Followers were crestfallen in May when the rapture did not occur, particularly those who had quit their jobs or donated some of their retirement savings or college funds for the more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the Judg- ment Day message. mean cool — as in, ''That shirt you're wearing looks cool.'' An older person in Mexico is often referred to as a ''ruca.'' That same word in Peru means prostitute. And a judgmental person in Mexico is called ''juicioso.'' In Colombia the word suggests the opposite — good behavior. Back to the bus. Guagua is the word Cubans use for bus. In Chile and parts of Argentina, it means a young child. In Mexico, essentially the same word is a childlike way of saying dog. ''Of course, there are always small differences,'' Venezuelan tennis player Luis Martinez said. ''But you fig- ure it out by traveling and learning.'' Many Latin Americans understand the language of baseball, particularly those from the Caribbean, Mexico and Venezuela. But most Argentines or Chileans are clueless in any language and have no real way to describe the sport. This is similar to Ameri- cans who are puzzled when Australians or Englishmen talk about cricket with expres- sions like ''googly'' or ''LBW'' or ''silly mid-on.'' Karla Rojas, a 28-year-old student from Guadalajara, recalls being an exchange stu- dent in Spain a half dozen years ago and, as many Mexi- cans abroad, she was craving a taco or fresh tortillas made by a tortillera, or tortilla maker. Seems harmless enough. However, the innocent Mexi- can words brought only confu- sion and blushing. The word ''taco'' is the one Spaniards use for ''swear words'' — as in, he swears a lot, or uses many ''tacos.'' A tortilla for Spaniards is the traditional potato omelet — nothing to do with the flat corn pancakes, the staple of the Mexican diet. And a ''tor- tillera'' in Spain is an off- color word for a lesbian. Burrito, another common Mexican entree, has nothing to do with food on the Iberian Peninsula, meaning only a small donkey. Even the word for T-shirt can cause confusion. Cubans call them, of all things, ''T- shirt,'' while in Mexico it's ''playera,'' in Argentina's it's ''remera,'' and in Spain it's ''camiseta.'' ''There can be humor in some of these,'' Carlos Gonza- lez of the Cuban state news agency said, ''but they can also cause problems.'' Just try catching a bus.
