Wishing to see you, cousin Explanation: Sospecho que la palabra ´gansa´es un error tipográfico, que debiese ser ´ganas´... puesto que "gansa" (equivalente a ´goose´) que a veces se usa coloquialmente, con otro significado) no tiene ningún sentido en este contexto. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 minutos (2013-12-17 11:12:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Had not seen the other queries... sorry... now I realize this is expected to be humorous!!... :)... |

How I'd like to goose you. Explanation: Not sure how crude is acceptable (but hey, they are Spanish). To goose = to poke between the buttocks with an upward thrust. |

I can´t wait to see you cousin Explanation: This is not gansa but ganas- it is a spelling mistake. ''Que ganas de verte'' expresses a strong desire to see someone who you miss and don´t see often. In English our closest equivalent that expresses the same feeling and meaining is ''I can´t wait to see you.'' |

I can't waist to see you cuz Explanation: "Cuz" seems apt for the [presumed] nonsensical context of drunken comradery. Other than that, the resulting utterance still makes no sense, the intended utterance is immediately inferred, and even the error type is similar. Rejected runner-up: I can't wasp to see you -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 days (2013-12-27 19:26:24 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Lol Indeed!
