Talk:Albur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's important to add that someone not familiarized with this kind of chitchat (even a native spanish speaker) listening to two or more persons “albureando” would have no clue what they are saying or why they are laughing. Also, one of the key rules is that there’s a time limit to retort to an albur, usually a couple of seconds, before you are deemed humiliated and lose the round.
[edit] Comments
In méxico DF, there's even a competition of albures, they take place in a boxing ring with two people each with his/her microphone and "albureando" each other. I can't remember where it's held, but hope someone can add it.
Also, the example given is hard to understand, I tried hard to think in one, but couldn't think of one. Vicco Lizcano 17:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC) (Tell me where I'm wrong)
- Hey, what part of the example is hard to understand? The translation, or the whole example? I wrote it and had tried to write one that would be the easiest to explain but I guess I failed. -Solid Reign 19:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
