I consider myself a pretty smart person. I had good grades in school, graduated college with honors in Computer Science…something in my brain works right. But every once in a while I say or do things that make you wonder what IS going on up there.
On Black Friday morning, Heather and I were in the line to turn into Target and I was joking about something and said "mucho dinero" and then went into some conversation I should have had in my head…"dinero..mula…do those both mean money in Spanish? Do they have two words for money? I wonder which one is the right one to use? mucho dinero, mucho mula. Hmm…I wonder if it’s spelled mula or moola. Mula definitely seems more Spanish."
So today I go to look it up. I google mula to see and find this on urbandictionary.com:
Well, I got the Spanish part right but I’d like to see the look on a Spanish speaking person’s face when I said I had "mucho mula".
I’m sure the closest spanish speaking person was looking around for “much donkeys”.
Maybe they thought you were referring to the other shoppers.
It could happen….
