Actually, if you carry a little stone in your pocket, it will be "the same" as carrying me. Why? The clue is in my username......

Okay, I had to look that up! Your username means baby bootee? Interesting! Is there a story behind that?

The plural, i.e. "patucos", means bootees. The singular form doesn't mean that at all. I was doubtful whether you might find it since it is rather obscure. Sorry!
The word "patuco" means "large rock" and since I'm from Gibraltar......you can probably figure out the rest! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

very obscure meaning indeed. I had no idea about that word. Is it part of the Andalusian vocabulary? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

As far as I know, it's exclusive to Gibraltar. I haven't heard it in Spain.
There's lots of words that only exist in the Gibraltarian vernacular. Check this link for some examples. 1 person has voted this message useful |
