What Does it Mean?

Thanks Jibster, I thought it was something like that. But wasn't sure. Another great thing about guys like you, who are married. It kinda like we have an insiders trade secret!

Thanks….for the honesty! And may God bless you little one.

I had the same thing happen after about a year and a half in Brazil and trying to get rid of some Spanish-sounding speech habits. Lots of good feedback from adults. Then, one night at a party, a little girl busted up laughing and asked her mom, "Does he always talk like that?" A real ego-booster, and incentive to keep working on my accent.

Juiciosa== I have thought I new what this meant before, buit maybe not!

I am not finding it in my dictionary!! Can anyone shed light on this word??

[HonkyTonk]

I had to look it up in my dictionary.

Juicioso/sa = judicious, wise

I thought that too, but I had a gal who I told I was taking care of the chores in my house and sh said oh tu eres juiciosa??

Than I had another gal that I told that I was really busy at work right now and she said the same thing. tu eres juiciousa??

It doesn't quite jive with the dictionaries version! I also tried to have a couple of latinos explain it to me and now I am lost!!! What else is knew?? jajaj

Well I have heard the word enough to know that I want to understand it better anyone else got some insight??

[HonkyTonk]

Well, since I never recall a latina using that word with me, they must think I'm an unwise lazyass

Last time I heard that word I thought a gal was reffering to my Juicy trasero.

Juiciso/a means staying out of trouble. On the straight and narrow, or no nonsense. Example: Esa joven es muy juiciosa, ella no le trae problemas a nadie = that woman is righteous, she doesn't like to cause problems for anyone. [referring to her character].

If any Latin person asks you if you are juicioso, take it as a compliment, they want to know about your [good] character...otherwise they might think you are some two bit Malandro...and that is not a good thing.

Joe, Tom, Ben equals

Yo tambien. Me too.

Juicioso equals

Hard working, dedicated to doing the best.

I hope that this helps to clarify the communication. She actually wants to say that she is in agreement with you.
