Take off your chaqueta, maleta.
I’m buying that hat on the 18th!
Jackets?
Los Pendejos would be pretty awesome.
“Chaqueta” translates to jacket.
However, the word in slang = masturbation
Is it just because “jacket” and “jack it” are so close in English that the Spanglish took it as slang?
You would hope there would be enough Spanish speakers in management positions to be able to point this kind of shit out, yet here we are.
Never new this was a slang word. But my parents are not of Mexican decent. Central and South American.
Un chaqueton y a dormir
Thank goodness for this app. Sometimes ol Duo probably won’t teach you lmao
Should’ve been “Las Reatas”
Una chaqueta before the game for Goodluck
I mean, even not taken as slang, it’s a really odd thing to name a team. The jackets? … ok.
No cultural appropriation police on this one? A white guy dressed in mariachi does sound a bit masturbatory.
The Quakes aren’t going to the “Wankers” full time, they’ll be the Chaquetas for a couples games a season. I live near the Lake Elsinore Storm and they become the Cadejos for a few games a season
