Coge coge coge... OMG that means to have sex! haha

So, last Thursday, I went to yet another free play with my theatre class. It was called El Pasado Es Un Animal Grotesco meaning The Past is a Grotesque Animal. This was quite the interesting play. First of all, the entire thing was done on a turntable stage that was divided into 4 different rooms. The play was just about the lives of a group of people but it was narrated by each of the four actors. It was done quite well but sometimes it was confusing.

The reasoning behind my title is because much of the play was done in Argentine dialect spanish which can be a bit different from most. The one narrator was talking about one of the characters and his partner (which actually was a dummy so he was humping a dummy on stage! lol). THe narrator said over and over, coge. To Puerto Ricans, coge means to take and to Argentines, coge means to have sex. So, I'm listening to the narrator and I'm like what did the character take when SUDDENLY it hit me what coge meant! lol. It was quite hilarious.

All in all, I had a great time and it was humorous.
