Ah, yes: to be clear, different Spanish(es) have different words for things. Some differences are hilarious, such as the word for "to pick up" in Spain ("coger") meaning "to fuck" in Argentinian Spanish.

In Argentinian Spanish, "pomelo" is 100% "grapefruit". I'm sure of this: I'm Argentinian.

But yes, it's likely that we are both right and in Cuba this isn't the case!



So is it an idiom in Argentina to say "go fuck a grapefruit"?


Haha, no, we use a different verb for "pick up"/"grab": agarrar.

So thankfully no sex with grapefruits is strictly necessary.
