Snotsoft

My inner yogi/Is gonna like this bogie

Only one, two people in the Anglosphere seem to have remarked on the true meaning of the name of Microsoft’s jubilant rival, Mocosoft. This is strange, because one of the first songs every student of Spanish learns is about snot. Here’s the tune (MIDI), to which you can sing the Spanish original followed by a blatantly deficient English translation:

Yo tengo un moco,
lo saco poco a poco;
lo redondeo,
lo saco con deseo.

Yo me lo como,
y si me sabe a poco,
yo saco otro
y volvemos a empezar.

My inner yogi
Is gonna like this bogie,
I slip it out slow
And roll my precious dough.

Back in my gob,
I pop that luscious blob:
Green bliss within,
I’m Mr Brahman’s twin.

    Mocosoft seem to do porn and warez, so your guess is as good as mine.

  • March 21 1848 

    En Barcelona como en otras partes comienza hoy la primavera, que en honor de la verdad no suele ser aqui la estacion mas hermosa del año. Cierto que ya los árboles comienzan á echar hoja, y que la linda y olorosa violeta alfombra los jardines y ribazos, y que le hacen cortejo otras flores; per...

Josep Pla, Palafrugell (1918-9)

  • 21 de març de 1918 En aquest paĂ­s tenim un costum molt curiĂłs. Quan ens trobem, al carrer, dues persones, cara a cara, no tenim, a penes, res a dir-nos. Però, una vegada acomiadats i fets set o vuit passos, se’ns ocorren tot d’una una sèrie de coses urgents a dir a la persona que hem deixat fa un moment. [...]
  • 21 de març de 1919 Inici de la primavera. Biblioteca. Tot traduint Renard penso que Ă©s mĂ©s important dominar un ofici qualsevol que posseir una curiositat dilatada, vastĂ­ssima. La curiositat es pot improvisar; un ofici, no. La curiositat Ă©s superficialment agradable, però deixa una certa buidor amarga per dintre.
