Hi everybody!!
I just wanna share with you a web I found about spanish slangs.
Depending on the country we must use carefully certain words :D
I suppose you all know!
I´m Spanish and I recognize it´s also hard to me to understand the meaning of certain phrases when I speak with my Argentine and Colombian friends.
This page has been created by professors of language of the University of Barcelona.
I hope you find this as interesting and useful as I do!

hi, Droelas,
I knew about the site you posted, and I find it really useful when I need to understand you, Spaniards!!! HAHAHA... yes, we all speak Spanish but we have lots of variations, and every time I get confused by some sentence, like there's this word or phrase that doesn't make sense to me, I remind myself, "maybe there's another meaning to that word???", so I check it there (or ask in the forum!) and find out there is!
;)

Hi Argotide!
I know it because they were my professors years ago :D
In fact in the "diccionario de gestos" they are the actors (Toni and Emma).
That's very interesting, Droelas, thank you for this contribution!!

Argótide!
You were right! I was confused! :(
I´d copied a wrong webside. I talked about this one:

Polla (sustantivo femenino)
Ecuador: Papelito lleno de apuntes que el estudiante esconde para usar durante el examen. En España a esto le llamamos "chuleta". En plena clase, Pocho sacó su polla y la teniía entre sus dedos para dársela a Silvia, quien la ciogió con muchas ansias. La profesora de repente volteó y en su desesperación Silvia solo atinó a meterse la polla de Pocho en la boca.
:eek:
Perú: premio mayor de las apuestas hípicas, también pollón. Javier, un chico tranquilo y sencillo, fue un día al hipódromo, y al final de la última carrera, en el momento más inesperado..ZAS! se sacó la polla dejando boquiabiertos a todos los presentes..
:eek: :
Colombia: Novia. Es la polla de René, la reconozco por la foto.
OMG I am laughing and laughing, this is hysterical!!!! Amazing how different the languages are!!!
Popette, Spanish from Spain :D

I'm not believing this. I never knew of any slang meaning of polla except for the one in Spain. My teacher is Peruvian. I can't wait to show her.
this is exactly the reason why we should be careful with certain words, and also when we condemn some expression -taboo in our country but totally normal in some other place!!!
really fun!
exxcéntrica, who (I'm assuming it's a person) do you call your "joya"? I mean, is it your "significant other" or am I guessing wrongly? is it common to call your "better half" that way in Spain?
