The more foreign languages you know, the cooler you are.

Todays lesson is just a little tidbit that will help you get along better
in society.  I have directed this gem to the majority of my male friends
because they are the ones who most likely need to use it.  Any females
who recieve this; please accept my apologies.  This is all just in good
fun (it's a male bonding thing).

   The phrase for today:   "Malbona Hundino"


   Creatively translated from Esperanto, this means "Evil Bitch".

   Literally translated, it's sort of like "not-good female dog".

To use this in conversation, say "Tiu estas la malbona hundino?"

                                    ("Who is the evil bitch?")

Any self respecting gentleman will then insert the name of the last woman
that reduced him to emotional dirt and respond by saying, "(name) estas
la malbona hundino!"

        ("So-and-so is the evil bitch")

Personal note:  I've noticed that Esperanto really lends itself to complaining
about relationships.  The only other language that comes close is Italian.
