chofito a quick bath
| Creator: | |
| Language pair: | Spanish to English |
| Definition / notes: | This word is very old and simply means "a quick bath", sometimes insinuating that no soap was involved, just a quick wetting under the shower and that is it. Therefore, the word is very similar in descriptive meaning to the word "dowsing" in the sense of something being quickly drenched in some liquid, usually water. The word is rarely used in public, but it happens easily in family and home situations, especially in more traditional, nuclear families where a grandparent is a member and active participant of the regular household. Note: Sometimes the word is shortened to “chofo”, but that has a “less endearing” sound to it and is very rarely used. Examples: Date un chofito. = Take a quick bath. Me voy a dar un chofito. = I am going to take a quick bath. |
