Did you know "Piso Mojado" warns illegal aliens to not piss on the floor?; 5:12 PM, May 18, 2014
Ed said...: You mean "piso mojado" does not mean "nasty tasting marinade"?; 5:45 PM, May 18, 2014
Steve Skubinna said...: I think it means "No card playing during seasonal Pacific storm systems."

Because I'm pretty sure Baby Jesus would be capitalized. Or would that just be in German?; 6:25 PM, May 18, 2014
Steve Skubinna said...: No Jess, I think it means somebody already pissed on the floor. I mean, how do you think it got wet in the first place?; 6:26 PM, May 18, 2014
Jess said...: I stand corrected.; 6:49 PM, May 18, 2014

It's an idiomatic expression really meaning:

Don't let your children grow up to be flamenco dancers.

The phrase you want to remember is, "Quánto por tu hermana por el noche?" You can trust me on this. Hablo Español como un gringo barracho.; 12:12 PM, May 19, 2014
