  • ruzuzu I don't remember signs like that on the taxi cabs I've seen in el estado de Oaxaca. There's usually just a sign on the top of the car (often a Nissan Tsuru) that says "TAXI." I can't even tell you whether they light up the signs when they're looking for passengers. Maybe. At night.

    I'm not sure about buses, either. I've only taken one--it was from the coast up through the forest to Oaxaca de Juárez. At one point we stopped at a little spot by the side of road where the passengers could get out to buy cacahuates or tlayudas and use the toilets. Of course, two of the three toilets were out of service, and the lady ahead of me in line thought it was funny to stand next to them and say "Cobra me" when people would try the doors and find them locked.

    And as far as engagement goes, I have had at least two marriage proposals from taxi drivers in Tsurus, but I didn't take either of them up on it. Nov 1, 2011

  • hernesheir What is the word that Mexican buses and taxis post to indicate that they are "engaged" at the moment and not accepting pasajeros? Not ocupado is it? Nov 1, 2011

  • ruzuzu Milos, that's hilarious. I think of "ocupado" as the easy way to let people know not to barge in on you in your stall, but I never made that connection. Nov 1, 2011

  • milosrdenstvi Perhaps I've been *severely* overly influenced by Spanish ocupar. Now that I mention this fact to the world it might also only exist in certain dialects. Funny how I was so sure it was valid in English too. Oct 28, 2011

  • bilby I've never heard that milos. Only the opposite, as it were, e.g. evacuate the bowels. Oct 28, 2011

  • milosrdenstvi I've always been secretly amused at the use of occupy as a synonym for defecate. Perhaps I've been overly influenced by Spanish. Oct 28, 2011

  • Prolagus I want my content back. Oct 28, 2011

  • ruzuzu Brackets around "canned umbrage," please. Oct 28, 2011

  • chained_bear I freaked out. I mean, I Just freaked the fuck out. It says "show all 200 of my lists" over on the right. I have 260 lists. I thought I lost 60 lists.

    I have *GOT* to find a way to archive my stuff. This is crazy. Oct 28, 2011

  • ruzuzu I've started a new list. :-) Oct 28, 2011

  • Prolagus occupy Wordnik is © ruzuzu. We also have a picket on Google Plus. Oct 28, 2011
