Well let's see... first of all, do you remember me telling you about what "Lisa" means in Burmese? Let me recap for you. Burmese is circle-y letters with attached sounds and the sound "Li" means cock. Not the science word penis, but cock (I clarified). The second half of my name "sa" if you drag it out a bit like "saaa" means eat. So, yes, eat cock. Nice. (the shorter "sa" sound is hungry) The kicker is that I lived there for months before anyone ever told me. Oh, Hi, nice to meet you, my name is Lisa.
Well I've moved on and now am living in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Thanks to a teacher with some foresight, I found out before school started that in Santa Cruz, the slang word for being "wasted" or drunk is yema. Yes, it also means egg yolk and as I found out from a student today, sometimes the "egg of the penis" (i.e. balls). OOOOKKKKK. And to top it off layemma is my gmail screen name, so la yemma is the wasted one. Perfect.
The first day of school was today and in the third set of students there was some mumbling. Someone peeps their head up and says, "miss, do you know spanish?" I said just a little, why? Well, your name... Ohhhh, what? Yup, they confirmed. Oui, oui, oui.
So as a fellow teacher nicely put it when I told them what Lisa means... "hey, your whole name means the drunk cock eater". Perfect.

Well, if a journal as authoritative as the NY Times says it, then it must be true!
