I was visiting some Mexican friends that have been living here in the States for years; in fact, all their three children were born here. They only speak Spanish in the home, so that the children will be bilingual, but when the kids talk among themselves, they use a mix of English and Spanish.
So while I was there, I overheard them talking about their favorite cartoon – Scooby Doo.
One of them kept referring to "El Desgreñado," and I couldn't figure out what she was talking about.
Then it hit me – Shaggy.
Desgreñado is a word that means muy despeinado, or con el cabello muy desarreglado. Shaggy, in other words.
