Just imagine for a moment a huge body of reporters following you around, hanging onto every word you speak. Don't you believe that once in a while--even in a near-eternally long while--one of them might catch you in a blooper?
And, should that happen in this make-believe world of fame you're now standing in, wouldn't it be embarrassing to find yourself quoted here on AWAD for each of us to laugh at!?
There's something to be said for anonymity...

<<No fair! At least he has an excuse, English not being his first language.>> I agree, provided Sparteye doesn't know what the Spanish for "goose bumps" is...

It doesn't seem an unreasonable term to use, given that the accolades being awarded were being described in terms of ova.

Ackshully©, Sergio wasn't too far off. In Spanish, goose bumps are known as "chicken skin" piel de gallina. Now Sparteye knows if she didn't before  .

It's certainly no worse than ordering, say, soap and eggs for breakfast.
I don't speak English, but I promise not to laugh at your Spanish.
jamón = ham
jabón = soap

And the French for ham appears to be a combination of "jamón = ham and jabón = soap"...
jambon...oui?

Well, WW, maybe that's why cheap jambon tastes the way it does.
