Thread: domingo 7

Well stated, I agree. With Spanish it is all about the context, one phrase can have several different meanings, in this case simply saying your pregnant isn’t enough, due to the context we can see that what the writer is trying to portray is much more like Dragona says here, it is more of a argumentative statement.

Well, that is exactly what it means.
And if you misunderstand, or worst of all, if you understand it correctly and you’re not suppose to mention such a comment and you're totally out of context, and use it with no regret, then the Domingo 7 is all yours. Bear with stoicism and honor the creation of your first Domingo 7 my dear MariaKlec. I´m sure we all have one in our history.
Feel free to use it, we all love it.

And as Copeland says of course it is used in many different situations, not only when talking about unexpected pregnancy, it’s just that it’s most commonly used in this situation. Yet the context is always the same.
“I/we will not like what I/we’ll hear, it’s your lame excuse for screwing up your life (this moment, the situation, etc) and everyone else's around you, even if you thought that was the right thing to do (or you wanted it). We/you were going in a different direction, you were not suppose to… ”.
Being knocked up, changes the whole scenario when no one expected it to be so. Altough, Dragona, I'll want to know when is it that you use this term knocked up, referring to pregnancy, and if it is most commonly used by a certain group.
Domingo 7 may be a familiar or friendly term. It may be used in the office with your partners in friendly conversations for intance, but never to address a client or during a meeting, or in any other circumsance where you need to avoid familiarity. It is not vulgar, but aggresive in deed it is, bear in mind you're pointing out someone's stupidity.

Brief: “say quickly, what’s the stupid new? a bun in the oven? Chasing the dog all around the wet ground? Telling what was supposed to be a secret?”
Important to say it is no one else’s Domingo 7 but yours, it’s always “Tú/Su Domingo 7” why? because being blameworthy is a funny way to get rid of everyone elses faults (namely mainly mine). You need to assign it directly to someone. You never say ¿cuál es el Domingo 7? or ¿ya saliste con el Domingo 7?
