... or "je, je" as they say in Castellano.
Approaching Crimble, so here's an amusing anecdote that might have come out of a cracker, but it is actually based on our experiences when we first moved to Spain.
Spanish speakers or those wishing to test their lateral linguistic intellect will get it.

Villagers would ask the wife what is her name.
She would reply "Kay", because that is her name (novel, eh?).
They would ask again and this ping pong might go on for a bit until they gave up.
They would turn to me and ask my name.
Being an honest chap, I would respond "Stewart" (OK so far?)
That was far too difficult, so they would come back with "que?".
Wife would then chirp up and say "no, that's me!!
Boom, boom!

OK, if you don't get it - "Kay" sounds identical to "que", which means "WHAT!"

A few decades ago I had a jovial friend whose wife was called May.
He would, when he dared, introduce her - "I'd like you to know my wife May, but not often". :lol: [perfectly true]
He walked with a limp from a recurring ankle injury! :roll: [OK, I made that up]
