That&#8217;s something along the lines of what you&#8217;re being asked if a Spanish person says<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8216;<span style=\"color: #ff9900\">Te tira los tejos<\/span>&#8216;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. He\/she is definitely trying to flirt with you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Imagine arriving at the supermarket and there\u2019s no dip left for your tacos, you\u2019ll be thinking \u2018Are you kidding me?\u2019 which would be the equivalent of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2018<span style=\"color: #ff9900\">Me tomas el pelo<\/span>\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Spanish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In need of telling someone to stop someone being a party pooper? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2018<span style=\"color: #ff9900\">Aguafiestas<\/span>\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is the phrase you mic drop with. A perfect example is \u2018Boris es un aguafiestas\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re drinking vodka on the rocks a Spanish person would describe it as<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2018<span style=\"color: #ff9900\">a palo seco<\/span>\u2019. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is typically used to describe a dish or a drink that is served without any accompaniment and our version of \u2018straight up\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-340081\" src=\"https:\/\/obi-cc.theloyaltyco.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/How-You-Doin-%EF%BF%BD-O-Beach-Ibiza.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, the O Beach team would like to warn you of some words that look similar to one another but that can position you in an awkward situation if you use the incorrect version.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Constipado; We know what you\u2019re thinking, but you\u2019ve got it all wrong.

If you&#8217;re thirsty and need a glass of water in a restaurant or bar, you&#8217;d usually say \u2018I would like a glass of water please\u2019. In Spanish that would be <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2018<span style=\"color: #ff9900\">Quisiera un vaso de agua, por favor<\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pollo; If you\u2019re at a restaurant and you\u2019re ordering some chicken be careful not to order a \u2018Polla with chips\u2019 or your order will come up with a hell of surprise as polla means penis in Spanish! Pollo always Pollo!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Embarazada: It sounds embarrassing, right? Well, be careful how you use this as it actually means \u2018pregnant\u2019!
