There isn't much to write about for today--since I spent SEVEN HOURS of the day in the bus on my way back to Alicante...

So I'd like to share some of the interesting words that I learned this weekend from a native to Zaragoza.

yayo/yaya--this is the word used to refer to grandmas and grandpas. They tend to be kind of nosy and love to give advice.

hortera--this means "tacky."

marujas--soccer moms. In Spanish--like in English--this can be a pejorative term.

mellizo/melliza--these are fraternal twins. Identical twins are referred to as gemelos.
