peer agreement (net): +1attractions / come-ons Explanation: my dictionary tells me that una baza is a "trick". Therefore, the unfriendly way to translate bazas would be to say "come-ons". At this time of day I am in a friendlier mood and therefore suggest "attractions" |

trick (at cards) Explanation: According to Cuyás, Simon & Schuster and indeed the RAE Diccionario de la Lengua Española, "baza" is a trick at cards, and all the examples given are literal or metaphorical usages of this. Could this be a typo? |
