Jan 21	comment	Ways to express “to get ready” or “to get dressed” @CesarGon interesting... Look at the RAE entry I linked. At least in Colombia "alístate para que salgamos" is very common.

Jan 20	comment	What is the verb landarse (to be it in a game of tag)? @Javi: I think you are right on the money and you should post your comment as an answer. Nicaraguans say "Pablo la anda" (Pablo tiene la lleva), "La ando yo" (Yo tengo la lleva).
Jan 20	comment	What Spanish dialect is used for dubbing international films/shows? @MikMik Exactly, who's best at dubbing movies comes down to which company is doing it, their experience and their understanding of the audience the movie will reach. As far as slang, I think you can maintain the style and convey the same message if you translate "gimme the dough, you $%&#@" as "dame todo el billete, hijo de puta." I think everybody will understand this and using "billete" for "dough" is a good-enough compromise. I am not saying that cursing should be avoided ("#!@#!@%&!^"-->sinvergüenza), but it's pretty bad when you hear "Cáete con la lana, hijo de la chingada."

Jan 19	comment	Translation of “too good to be true” "De eso tan bueno no dan tanto" is also used in Colombia.
Jan 19	comment	Insect bites vs. stings @Javi Thanks for the comment. That's news to me. I would always say: `Me picó una (hdp) avispa` :D

Jan 19	comment	If you need to clarify a speaker with a pronoun, do you need to clarify all verbs in the sentence with one? You have a typo in `tu eres cansado`. It should be `tú (second person singular) eres cansado`
Jan 19	comment	What's the meaning of “Te la bañaste” expression? +1 First time I hear the term. Question: On the first example, should it be `¡Ah, se la baño!` or `¡Ah, se la bañó!` (past)?
