Con que se come?

In Spanish, when you use a complicated word you’re not sure everyone will understand, you would throw in my current favourite expression  ‘Con que se come?’ (“and what do you eat it with?”). Ie. the best hint to understanding new foods (or words) is hearing about what you serve it with…

A couple more of my favourite Spanish ways of saying things are:

Colaborar  – When people ask for money, instead of asking for a donation, they ask for your “collaboration.”

Exagerado – Same root as exaggerate but it means more like out of line or too much.  You could say: The price for movies these days is “exaggerated.”
