Mexi-Vocabulario: ¡Sinvergüenza!

I grew up being called a “sinvergüenza“.  Whether it was for getting myself or my younger siblings in trouble; for trying to get too fresh with the señoritas, once I was old enough to; or just for being exactly what the word itself implies: shameless, in some way, has almost always defined me.

Angel or Sinvergüenza?

I was a sinvergüenza when together with my brothers we used the hole in between our kitchen and the neighbor’s to soak her legs and feet with our water guns.

I was a sinvergüenza when I’d walk in to the mall wearing one extra large tee shirt and walk out wearing about four other smaller ones underneath.

I was a sinvergüenza when I’d blame my younger brother for all of my wrongdoings.

I was a sinvergüenza when I’d pretend I never got her calls in high school.

I was a sinvergüenza when I’d call in for two or three days at a time just to veg out in front of the television.

I was a sinvergüenza when I pretended to care more than I actually did.

I am a sinvergüenza now, since I will only share the many ways I have been a sinvergüenza in the past…  not how I might still be one today.

Writer’s Disclaimer: When I say mexi-vocabulario I don’t necessarily mean these words are exclusively Mexican, or only used by Mexicans.  This is simply an expression of how they were introduced to me in our Mexican Spanish.
