peligroso / pell-i-GROSS-o / dangerous
I was watching the Arsenal v. Sporting Lisbon game on TV yesterday afternoon, and the only channel showing it was the Spanish-language channel, and since that’s usually good for a great GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL celebration, the game ended 0-0 so this one was actually lacking a bit. But they did keep describing a player as “muy peligroso” and I realized I had no idea what that meant! Now let’s hope that we don’t actually have any reason to know what this word means. You gotta figure if Russ goes tequila loco that the locals will have more colorful things to call him that just “dangerous.”
(It was Aaron Ramsey, if you’re curious, and he really hasn’t been super peligroso this season.)
