@ homonikum Malo means "bad,evil,sick" in Spanish, we better find another portmanteau for them.. Oh no! That is quite funny, I didn't know that Ok, what do you think we should call them? Any ideas ? And yes, Scandinavian countries are liberal, except Norway. Norway is so far behind in general when it comes to LGBT issues. But, well, I can't complain too much. We are getting there eventually. It just takes longer for us, since this country is more christian and more conservative.

"Ok, what do you think we should call them? Any ideas ? " *ponders* let's see.. the two have as full names: Manuel "Flaco" Riveiro and Gonzalo "Lalo" Roldán (btw why the call him Flaco=skinny/thin ??) My proposals: Flalo, Laco, Lanuel, Roldeiro, Magonza ! , Manzalo, Gonzuel, Machos yes ok, some of them are ridiculous .. I guess the first 3/4 are the best. Aren't here any native speakers who can help us?

lol...they're nicknames that teammates give each other...its very common in sports teams especially in soccer, each member has their own little name that everyone calls them according to their physical appearance or personality or something funny that happened to them or sometimes its just what they call the skinny person in a family...like we call my little brother flaco cause hes skinny and my cousin gordis cause shes not so skinny lol.... there is no real reason haha its just a nickname...cause he's not-too-bulky haha

Ailyne I knew that! It just surprises me that they call Manuel "flaco" since he's not really skinny.. I read that there are other meanings like "flojo, sin fuerzas, sin vigor para resistir".. so basically a lazy player and it's also a way in Rioplatense Spanish to call a guy without naming it, like "dude" in English. Are you a tejana darling ?

Ooh that's good! Why I haven't thought about it?? Are you Argentinian right? I read that this telenovela is having great ratings, is this storyline getting negative reactions?

Hi, I'm new here and I don't know how can I help. I'm a big fun of all this message board and I've reading for a while all your comments. This is my first trial so I'm not going to be too long to see how it works. Oh by the way I'm a Spanish teacher and a Translator. Thanks.

@ Florchus bienvenida cariña! Have you met Christian ?? I read a few comments on Argentinian message boards and there some quite negative reactions to this story, but as long as I've understood there's also a general praise for the actors and the show for how they're handling this storyline.. @ massusa welcome on board, I'm sure you can help, let's wait for the guys who make the translations.. I know that Kelly, the Portuguese girl who subtitles on YouTube, is quite busy, maybe you could contact her.. www.youtube.com/user/BlackAngel082

I can tell you that the show wasn't going quite well until this story came up. They were going to cancel the show because of the low ratings!

@ italiansunflower the show is on air form Tuesday to Friday at 22:30 (Argentina's time zone) on Telefe, so there wasn't an episode for April 12th, and the next one will be aired in a few hours This YouTube channel uploads the entire show: www.youtube.com/user/botinerasblogAnd on this blog you can find the list of all episodes (capitulos): botinerasblog.blogspot.com/

@ puppyandbunny Sorry I didn't reply before, yes I saw him at a restaurant a long time ago. He is so hot in real life! I can tell you that the show has a new writer, because the previous one was fired, and he made up this story. I can assure you that the high ratings are because of Lalo and Manuel and it doesn't really matter about those people who make nasty comments of how horrible is to see two men kissing, at the end of the day the raitings reflect what people think I can't see today episode (sadly I have to work and I'll miss it!) but it should be on youtube any moment. I have a question... do you know what Botineras means???

I heard it used to be a comedy, but it wasn't very popular. So they made it more dramatic instead, and the ratings went up. It's funny you say this storyline is getting so many bad comments, cause I'm only reading praise on Youtube. Can you also please tell us about Cristian Sancho? When did you meet him? He is very handsome!

@ homonikum It doesn't have that many bad comments, but you will always find someone who is against it. But here in Argentina we are quite liberal about it. And about Sancho, he was having coffee and I happened to be there with some friends. But we didn't do anything because we didn't want to disturb him.

@ florchus Thanks for you reply honey! Lucky girl, you saw Christian! I guess Botineras are the wives and girlfriends of football (soccer) players, like the WAGs in British English @ homonikum there are a few bad comments, even on the official blog, of course if you watch their scenes on a "gay" channel you won't read them and you'll find mainly praise
