Como se dice...

Sometimes I wish certain words in English can be translated into Spanish. I found myself in a situation that called for a big awwwwwkwaaaaard, which is unfortunately very hard to find an English equivalent to. I was sitting at the bar for my morning coffee, as usual, and a young woman comes up to pay for her tab.


Francisco: Hey guapa. By the way, how’s your boyfriend?

Young lady: Oh we’re not together anymore…16 years together…but it’s over.

Francisco (after a short silence): Uh uh ummm sorry.

Me (in my head): aaawwwwwkwaaaard…..
