Sorry Bill, but you might want to get a new Spanish to English dictionary. A raccoon is "el mapache" and a badger is "el tejon" (pronounced Tay-hone). The most important thing is that "tesoro" means treasure!! And turn those CAPS LOCK off, that's like SCREAMING on the internet. Todo bien??

Maybe the confusion is in the Spanish vs. Mexican translation. Spanish being the names of the Tesoros. Mexican being the Latin dialect that most people in the southern U.S. confuse with Spanish.

Hey Bill...what he means is when someone uses all caps like you did in your original post...it implies YELLING.

Hello friendly, Tej

 

[BigCatDaddy]

Being a fifth generation Texan, I know the difference in the languages, but in your first post you stated that the SPANISH word for raccoon was Tejon, not the Mexican word. All of Tesoros names are based on the Spanish words, not the Mexican version of the language. Growing up on working ranches in Central Texas, I picked up a good deal of the Mexican language from the workers that my old man would hire. When I took Spanish in school, I thought it would be easy, but they taught the true Castillian Spanish, not the slang Mexican I had picked up. Similar, yet different and a lot to unlearn.
It doesn't matter one iota that there are no badgers in my beloved Texas, the Spanish word for badger is Tejon.
And about that picture. I'm sure you think that's funny, but you have managed to insult two races of people, not to mention our President. He is our Commander-in-Chief and deserves our support whether we like him or not. Racism and prejudice has no business on these forums, they are for metal detecting discussions.
Life is too short for all of this, I'm going out and find some loot while I'm still able.
