Hah now I'm picturing like that urban legend about Yucatan meaning "I don't know".
Op is being asked by natives of he'd like some local clothes while he repeatedly jams his foot into the wet sand and points at it.
- arrowsmith 3y agoIt's not really an "urban legend" that Yucatan means "I don't know"; it 's a credible theory that linguists take seriously. You might be thinking of "kangaroo", which is also said to originate from a local word for "I don't know", but in that case it's not a serious hypothesis.
