"It's not fun if you don't have a TV show" probably translates as "You can't make the big bucks without a TV show." And you gotta know what the rubes will expect if you want them to pay your fees.

"some clown on 4chan"

That's redundant.

A "stylist" who pairs a plaid scarf with an argyle sweater? Does he style old Russian ladies?

The video of Joe Biden enthusiastically offering to help Brayden Harrington with his stutter brought me to tears.

‘Moco-Loco’ packs a lot of meaning in Spanish. Literally, it means crazy snot/mucus.

There was a Mexican tee vee character named ”Lonje Moco,” which is a spoonerism of ‘monje loco,’ or crazy monk. Yes of course, the character was a crazy monk.

A Mexican co-worker referred to her kids snarkily (but endearingly) as ‘los mocosos’ once. The suffix –oso changes the sense of the noun form to adjectivial form, and is a cognate to –ous in English. The best translation is probably snot-nosed. In Mexican Spanish (and probably elsewhere) it is not necessarily insulting to use a person’s outwardly-visible characteristics as nicknames. Context is everything! There are a ton of ‘Gordos’ out there (gordo means fat), believe me. Our nephew was pudgy as a tyke, yet ‘Gordo’ persisted through his life, even as a lean Marine!

That sounds really, really tempting to cook at home. Need to snag some Spam on the next vittles run. I’m running dangerously low on coffee.

Yeah, I don't think you have to worry about Little Donnie putting dog ears in a book, because he can't read... You might have to worry about it going up in smoke, though...

So, you're saying that, as a registered Democrat, I can make bank by posting a video of me claiming that I plan to vote for Hair Furor?

Hmm, yeah, that's gonna be a hard pass.

Makes sense. Blacks for Trump are mostly white people. Women for Trump are mostly men. Gays for Trump are mostly straight people. Students for Trump are mostly college drop outs.

I've had it both ways. With all due respect to native Hawaiians, I preferred the burger.

"You can make a good amount of money and certainly can perform good investments that can help you to have better future for your loved ones and will give you a more life that is wholesome and joyful."Yeah um "Jan", is that what your comrades call you? It looks like your Russian to English translator could use a little tweaking.
