Commenter gives a logical answer with information that is probably well-known for a good chunk of the world (Spanish speakers), yet it’s somehow still mind-blowing. Like “whoah, that’s where that came from!”
In Spanish you have one tamal but two tamales. In English you have one tamale, two tamales. We incorrectly removed the pluralization from tamales and now we have this hybrid word, tamale.

yeah, but mosca is femenine while mosquito is masculine. a small mosca would be a mosquita. a large mosquito would be a mosco. an even larger mosco would a moscon. and even even larger moscon would be a mosconaso.
But it's only the female mosquito which is bothersome. We should probably have called them mosquita.
Grammatical gender in Spanish is rarely consistent anyway.
Even weirder: the main informal terms for genitals are not congruent with the genital sex.
- Pinga is feminine
- Bollo is masculine
- Papaya is delicious
Or moscote, or mosconón. Mosconaso sounds to me like a large swarm of mosquitoes. Lol
The meme is funny nonetheless.
Aaaalso, in Mexico calling a mosquito "mosco" is fair.

Moscas (flies): 😐
You killed it! People shall sing your praises for generations!
Bro that mfer looks like it can feed a cat

Not sure if I should upvote for quality comment or downvote for the raw fear stricken in my soul
I'm Spaniard and I don't know how the fuck to call that thing.
MOSQUITOTE?
'Mosco' is commonly used in different Spanish speaking countries. 'Mosca' is your regular house fly, 'Mosco' is used in some places to refer to the big black flies and horse flies.
Huh, that's interesting. In russian, the general word for "small fly" is "мошка" (moshka). And plural of those is "мошкара" (moshkara).
Always fun to see related words.
A mosque?
If you’re hard of hearing, you don’t need to suffer in silence. Help is available
So I can suffer in noise? Sounds like a bad idea.
The suffering will stop when morale improves.

Look bro we told you not to go north on I-15 from Goodsprings. But noOooO "shortest path to Vegas is a straight line" you said.
Mosca exists and also moscardón
Same in Portuguese, except mosca and moscardo instead. They almost sound like a Pokémon evolution line

If true, then what am I eating when I have a "burrito?"
Those buggers live in Scandinavia I think….
They do, and funnily in Finnish, they are called hyttynen while one diminutive is -nen. The question is what the fuck is hytty.
Military-grade repellant you said? Time to break out the Star Wars Mosquito Defense System.

Does that also mean that the capital of Ecuador is really modest?
