Question of the week: Cara de fuchi

I miss my roommate, Isa. She’s been gone for over a month in South America. She won’t be back until beginning of September. Isabel is one of two roommates. The other roommate, Adja, didn’t take any long vacations this summer. However, Adja doesn’t know me like Isa knows me. Isa can read my face without much trouble. She can tell when I’m lying or not telling the full truth. Those faces are a little harder to detect than the face on the right. That’s my cara de fuchi. It’s the face I make when something smells bad, either literally or figuratively.

I’ve been making the cara de fuchi a lot lately. The slumping Dodgers (6.5 games out of first place in the NL West!) get the cara de fuchi. So does Congress for not doing anything regarding immigration reform except approving the border wall. I also give the cara de fuchi to the person in front of me who reclines all the way on a plane and the driver who cuts me off on the freeway and makes me slow down a lot.

I figure the cara de fuchi is a lot nicer than yelling obscenities.

La pregunta: What do you give the cara de fuchi to?

  1. I would give the cara de fuchi to:

    Karl Rove and Dub-ya for being douche-bags
    the crazy rain and flooding that has plagued Central Téjas all summer.
    my writing progress, which hasn’t gone anywhere lately
    that stupid border wall in South Texas that will damage the gorgeous ecological system of Laguna Atascosa and Sable Palm Audobon Center(which is right behind my parent’s house!).
    the disappointing number of mediocre Latin Alternative records out this year
    HP for continually calling me el “EMC”

  2. I love that face. When we were little, my mom would place us on the bed and sniff our feet. Then she would say very loudly, “fuchi!” It was so cute. My mom does this will all children. It’s something she does to communicate to babies what the meaning of stinky is. She says fuchi when she changes your diapers, fuchi when she’s taking off our soiled clothing, everything is fuchi when you’re little. So yeah, that memory of my mom’s cultural habit inspired this photo. Tee hee!

  3. I know you feel me on this one … Cara de Fuchi everytime I walk by “One-Dread” camped out on the bus stop in front of the 7-11 on Santa Monica Blvd. Can I get a witness?

  4. I give a “cara de fuchi” to the East Coast Weather. We’re in the middle of summer and today we had to put on jackets and rain gear. Not that rain is a major obstacle, but when the day before it was beautiful and today i’m shivering… I give a BIG FUCHI FACE TO THE WEATHER and Global Warming!!!

    FUCHI!
