spanish question

here is one for the nutjobs...hehe. What exactly is a "Mazda" ...is it used for something other than a car?

[el_ruso]

Mazda is just a car.  It is actually named for an ancient Persian deity.  Have you heard this word used in Spanish to describe something other than a Mazda?

[papi]

i thought it is just a car too but was wondering if maybe it might be an expression used in colombia for something else

[jediknight]

never heard of this term in colombia or used by colombians, did you hear it correctly?

   Maybe you listen to something else like this

" mandas huevo"

With thirty-three hundred Jews in Colombia, it was bound to happen, Don Pap. You likely heard something along these lines: "Look at my wife like that again, and I'm gonna kick you square in your matzah balls, eh!"

This is why I wear sun glasses when ogling.

Doombug, my hat is off to you....you obviously are the PRE-EMINENT authority on evaluating exactly what Papi's posts REALLY mean!  LOL!

Doom, maybe so, i have met a few misfits in my travels. Had someone called SE - he'd verify that said gringo went off the deep end over nothing...since he was standing next to me during the mishap. By the way, I got a chuckle out of the latest Coco Puffs retort.

I wasn't referring to any particular event. I was simply drawn to the phonetic similarities between matzah and Mazda, so I ran with it. As risque as the result may have read (surely, some must have cringed in lurker land), my sole aim was to turn a near-perfect pun involving your little Colombian word conundrum.

Peace to da peops, yo!

Coco Puffs???   ah...errhh...Cocoa Puffs...what child could live WITHOUT them!


Cocoa Puffs is a brand of chocolate-flavored breakfast cereal manufactured by General Mills. They are small "puff" spheres that have been flavored with cocoa. Essentially, General Mills took their popular Kix cereal and flavored it with cocoa. Fruit flavoring of Kix led to Trix.

Its mascot is Sonny the Cuckoo Bird, whose catchphrase is "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs". Sonny was originally dark brown but has since become orange. He wore a striped pink and white shirt, but this has recently been removed since 1994.
