Yo utilizo este término a menudo como slang. Por ejemplo en referencia a una comadrona que tuve en el hospital que nunca ofrecía ayuda concreta sino comentarios como *oh well she is only little, and I understand, that's babies isn't it". She seemed to be too emotionally empathetic but no help at all. I'd say stupid in an emotional way, if that makes any sense.
A bit like cheesy, I guess, one of those things people use but are not exactly proper English. (cheesy como cursi) |

Oh that's funny... I like English "english"
Now what about the rest of the English slang from Europe... ?
Can anyone else drop a list of them? That'd be nice to know. |
