Sorry dude, I was in catch-up mode.

Anyone wanna sniff my bike seat? I recommend my tri-bike, those
half-ironmans are great for saddle smell, you never quite get the smell
out, do you?

Tam

Umm, err, dunno, can't say I have ever sniffed my bike seat (except when it
was new, hmmmmm leather), but then I am a bloke and maybe it's different for
us guys, secret womens business and all that, and getting seriously OT so
think I will stop now!

Well, immediately post race, there is no need to sniff. It is more of a
waft, from the damp seat left in the sun while you're out doing that
thing of which we do not speak.

Given the thread, can I assume the thing we do not speak of has something to
do with a pajero?? Now I really am confused?!

Hello everyone,

In a topic in this group the Spanish word "pajero"'s equivalence to the
English word "******" was said to b a myth. The basis for this
assertion was the use of Babelfish to try to translate "******" from
English to Spanish. Unfortunately Babelfish is complete rubbish and
will rarely translate anything correctly- it cannot be relied upon.
Babelfish also does not translate profanities. Thus the use of
Babelfish proves nothing.

I have been studying Castilian Spanish (castellano, or what English
speakers KNOW as "Spanish") for eight years now, I have many Spanish
speaking friends and I own several Spanish dictionaries. In a recent
edition of the Oxford English-Spanish Spanish-English bilingual
dictionary, the English word "******" translates to "pajero/a" or
"mamón/a". The use of the term in this way is confirmed by all the
native speakers with whom I have spoken. Hence, a pajero is a ******,
and the Pajero car bears this embarrassing name. I would have to agree
with everyone who says that this name is most accurate

The term derives from "hacer una paja", to "make a straw". It makes
little sense of itself, but is indeed a term. One can see another
example of a strange word having profane significance in the word
"polla" (feminised "chicken", pronounced "pol-ya" or "poyya" or with a
particular soft "j" in Argentina), a profane term for the male
genitals.

Greetings,
Not the first time this has happened, I appreciate your literature
studies. In the 1980s, Ford marketed a utility (`pickup' as the
Americans phrase it) in Mexico called the Caliente. It took them a while
to discover that this was in fact the local slang term for Prostitute.
Great car, guys. But then we all knew a large number of 4WD drivers were
******s long before this came along, together with a number of other
categories of vehicle owners I won't bother listing here.
Regards,
Ray

I worked with an Argentinean man who told me that when he saw the word
Pajero for the first time in Australia, he thought it was a deliberate
joke by the driver. He explained that it means "******" or "bull**** artist".

The facts are clear. Pajero means "******" in colloquial Spanish. I
have no reason to lie, I really don't care either way. Look up a
comprehensive Spanish dictionary.


You're too late. Someone brought this up about a month ago and we've
been through it all, checked the various facts, spoken to people from
Spain and established it as an urban myth.

She is too busy looking up "Prado" on every internet dictionary to
confirm her long held suspicions.
