Captain Bucktooth

Hi all!

After a really middle age trip, Captain Bucktooth is ready to the next stage
of his travel. I'll post photos of him in various locations.

My sons asked for the token, and I told him the name. As they do not speack
so much english I should translate "bucktooth", and they inmediatly assigned
a nickname in spanish for him: "Capitán Piños", really good nickname in
spanish.

Regards.

Su Ingles es mejor de mi Espanol. Como se dice 'Pinos' en Ingles?
(Sorry, no tildes
or upside down question marks. Take me too long to figure them out!)

Piños is another word in Spain for 'dientes' or 'teeth'..
As a kid in Cuba [pre-Castro], someone with 'buckteeth' was called
"Dientes Frios" [Cold Teeth]...

Thanks for the explaination Jorge. All I could come up with was the
nickname that
Manuel Noriega had. "Cara de Piño", or in English, "Pineapple face".
My knowledge
of Spanish is limited, however I do know what "cervesa frio" means!

My pleasure, dont know enough about coins to contribute on that subject
so i need to find other ways to earn my keep here...

BTW...
Noriega is "Cara de Piña"...
though in most places "cervesa frio" will get you a cold one...it is
"cerveza fria"

Cheers
