a menos que quieras estropear/arruinar/destrozar tu auto/carro/coche Explanation: No estoy diciendo que la otra traducción esté mal, solamente me parece un poco literal, y en cierta forma un anglicismo, ya que no se suele emplear tanto en español. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 52 mins (2006-10-21 06:34:34 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Al igual que 'doohickey', 'thingabob' es una palabra 'cute' para señalar un objeto del que no conoces el nombre |

thingabob Explanation: Hola Burbajita, A thingabob is the same as a whatdyamecallit (what do you call it) ... cuando no te acuerdas de la palabra (de cualquier cosa) usas estas palabras.... paracido a una "comosellama" en español. Tambien hay "thingamebob" que cuando no te acuerdas del nombre de una persona le llamas thingymebob. |
