Default Re: In our Pipe Yard we refer to a pipe as a "joint" in English...

I accept with information:In general, a piece of pipe (such as tubing) anywhere is a "tubo". In general, pipe is "tubería". ed_freire: You saw "joint", and assumed that the user was talking about a marijuana cigarette, and gave some Spanish slang. Did you actually understand the inquiry or are you trying to be funny? Levi, I will give you credit for trying to be serious. But the word you're looking for is "pedazo", not "pedaso". And people who work with it every day don't say "pedazo de tubería", they say "tubo".
