Talk:Albur

It's important to add that someone not familiarized with this kind of chitchat (even a native spanish speaker) listening to two or more persons “albureando” would have no clue what they are saying or why they are laughing. Also, one of the key rules is that there’s a time limit to retort to an albur, usually a couple of seconds, before you are deemed humiliated and lose the round.

OK, so what does "male king of spain" mean in the second sentence? 2600:1011:B101:9B01:24A2:A40F:C3E7:80AE (talk) 20:20, 9 June 2018 (UTC) xyz

In méxico DF, there's even a competition of albures, they take place in a boxing ring with two people each with his/her microphone and "albureando" each other. I can't remember where it's held, but hope someone can add it.

Also, the example given is hard to understand, I tried hard to think in one, but couldn't think of one. Vicco Lizcano 17:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC) ^{(Tell me where I'm wrong)}

Hey, what part of the example is hard to understand? The translation, or the whole example? I wrote it and had tried to write one that would be the easiest to explain but I guess I failed. -Solid Reign 19:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I can see how it would be hard to understand. I think that part of a good albur is that foreigners won't get it, which makes it hard to explain. "Alburguesas al cabron" is another example. Zojj 07:14, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

What's the matter?

For this article I just addeed an example. WHY DO YOU REVERT WHAT YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND?

I will wait your explanation. ~~Mexican Alburero —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.72.98.84 (talk) 09:09, 19 January 2008 (UTC) The english in your example is very poor, the albures are hard enought to understand, without having these poor examples. I had written the original article, and think it was much easier to understand before although I didn't revert it. Solid Reign (talk) 13:56, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
