pin-CHON: (spanish) One who likes "pinchar"
Pinchar: v. 1. To hurt with a pointed thing
2. To tease
3. To annoy
4. (fam.) Miss, fail to accomplish the expected outcome
5. (fam.) To stick a knife into
6. (fam.) To inject drugs
I have a friend who, just after finishing GR, said that it was a pity
his name wouldn't be pronounced pin-CHON. I feel so much better now!
Saludos, Juan.
