Damn, I’m gonna have to step up the posting rate to take up the slack in traffic from these here parts… or start Dopeselytizing 😃 Éxito y suerte en todo lo que venga, **Sapo**. ---

What’s wrong with that? Should they have left out the “Whether”? 😛 ---

[QUOTE=What Exit?] Cool, I thought the last past might be, “Don’t be a stranger”. Jim [/QUOTE] Oh, that would make sense. Extrañarse = ‘‘to miss,’’ it sort of makes sense, I remember it by thinking of the word ‘‘estranged.’’ For those interested, ‘‘Sapo’’ means ‘‘toad’’ in Spanish. I always had a soft spot in my heart for **Sapo** because my host father in Mexico would always sing to ‘‘los sapos’’ so I associate this with that cool experience living in the mountains among the _sapos._ ---

[QUOTE=What Exit?] Cool, I thought the last past might be, “Don’t be a stranger”. Jim [/QUOTE] The equivalent idiom in Spanish would be “No te pierdas.” ---

I wasn’t able to post to this thread when it was created, due to acting like an idiot, so I’ll say it now. Sapo was one funny guy. And he was able to say what I was thinking, only better. If he comes back, I’ll welcome him back happily. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-new-and-improved-2008-sapo/430560.md?page=1)
