Chatting with my coworker, I mentioned the Giant House Spider I found in my toothbrush glass this morning. For whatever reason, I started thinking about the name. ‘Giant’. That’s ‘gigante’ in Spanish, right? I wonder how to say ‘spider’? So I babelfished it:
Araña gigante de la casa
Giant House Spider. Or even better, ‘Giant spider of the house’.
‘Hello, is the giant spider of the house at home?’
Araña gigante de la casa. Rolls off the tongue, it does. One day I should learn Spanish. Or at least start a band. I have a name for it.
