I was talking to my son and I used the word aficionado.

My daughter overheard and said "what did you just say?"

I repeated "aficionado"

She tried to pronounce it a couple times and got frustrated, so she said "a fish in WHAT?"

"a fish in avocado?"

That kid cracks me up.

I learned a new word from your story. Never knew the word "aficionado" existed. And your daughter is awesome!

She is a character.

A fish in a 'nado

No way. First time I've come across an English word that's spelled and means the exact same as in Portuguese!

Aficionado means a fish in avocado in Portuguese? Who knew? Haha

reply

ahah! No! a fish a nado ('swimming fish' pt->en)

No kidding, that word's gotta be 'stolen' from Spanish, innit?

When I read the title, I thought you were sharing a new food recipe (a pretty weird recipe...I thought) :P
