In Colombia we do use the term “El Rebusque” to identify what the rascuache does… is actually pretty deep when you think about it, it is that necesity that latinos call “ganas” and that we see missing from American culture at times.

catarf,

Jaja – señor internacionalista. Hay otros que dejan comentarios en español, pero creo que están escondiendo.

Doc,

Rasquache is when your rear end itches in public. Tlacuache is when you have an irresistible urge to be breast fed. So yes, I think I could work them into a poem.

Moreno,

Point taken. In the mean time though, your lyrical affirmations do just fine.

Julissa,

You had me at hello?

Logtar,

One drunken night I had the brilliant idea to start a cover band called Hottie and the Glowfish. RuPaul was going to be our lead singer and my friends and I would make up the band, covered in glow-in-the-dark paint, of course.

No follow through I tell you. I would say rebuscador is a fantastic definition of rascuache, but there seems to be little agreement on what the word means. I don’t think I met anyone in Mexico who had even heard the word before.

I have seen hootie live twice… once in a Fourth of July celebration (heard them for free) and the second one at a Rib festival (which I did pay for entry, therefore paid to see them…). I have no idea why that bad did not do better, they were not too horrible… I guess they were too old when they got big or something. Now Rasqueche maybe = Rebuscador?

Does “rasquache” rhyme with “tlacuache”? If so, I suggest writing a poem using the two.

Cindylu,

I no longer know when Angel is drunk or sober.

Patri,

I try to multiply, not divide time. It still doesn’t work.

Cad,

You know, come to think of it, I don’t know what a cycle of an atom is either. I had assumed it meant menstrual, but that would be a pretty intense life for cesium-133. Anyway, the real point of the post was to be able to quote Hootie and the Blowfish. I had always hoped I could one day be a blowfish, but last I heard, Hootie has gone the R&B route. I guess we all sell out eventually.

i lost you at

“cycles of an atom of the isotope cesium-133″

But I still read the whoooooooolllllleeee thing, and I must admit, these grumpy old men and white pasty geeks sound like they could be best friends .. . I mean, if the timing was right and all!
