Lurded, look who showed up! Explanation: Without context (previous), it's pretty hard to guess. - Lurde is surely a "ignorant" way of calling a person named "Lourdes or Maria de Lourdes". - Margarida may be an ironic reference to someone who's done something wrong or had disappeared for a while, and now is showing up. It comes from an old song that goes "apareceu a margarida, olê, olê, olá...". So when someone shows up after a long while without anyone knowing where they were, we say "apareceu a margarida". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2016-06-18 21:47:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- * Lurde, (no "d") |
