guerrero de fin de semana


Explanation:
O es un error, o se trata de un juego de palabras, ya que se llama "weekend warriors" a las personas que sólo hacen deporte los fines de semana...y por extensión a quien sólo se dedique a una actividad los fines de semana

For Weekend Warriors


Are you a ‘weekend warrior’ with a passion for playing football, basketball or training for a 5K or marathon? Diving into an fitness activity or sport without much preparation or thought of safety can get the best of you and leave you in pain or even injured from pushing yourself too hard, ignoring pain or trying to do it all in a weekend.

agree  Margaret Schroeder: Exacto. Reaccioné igual, cuando lo vi pensé "warrior". Pero no queda claro cual de los casos es, si se trata de un error o un juego de palabras. //Más que lo pienso, creo que es error.

  -> si se trata de un juego de palabras, obviamente mi respuesta sería incorrecta...pero no queda claro
agree  María Teresa Taylor Oliver: Eso mismo pensé yo... sobre todo por la parte que dice "trade in your remote control", o sea, "¡dejen de holgazanear y pónganse a trabajar!" Creo que "worriers" no tiene ningún sentido en este contexto... Habría que ver.

neutral  Refugio: Susana, it is a play on words. Many "weekend warriors" who lack DIY skills are really worried about looking like idiots. The fact that it is not an error is reinforced by the opening words "Have no fear."
