Oh okay!! That makes sense. Thanks!
Re: Abatatar
Does anybody know where the terms come from?
Alguien sabe de dónde viene esa expresión? Porqué abatatar y no apapar?
Re: Abatatar
My friend is from Argentina. So I'm guessing it's used as slang in that country. I'm not sure if other Spanish speaking countries use it as well though.

Re: Abatatar
Well Adam, abatatar is a Portuguese term as well, but the meaning is to make a shape like a potato.
In fact Portuguese and Spanish have lots of similar words but with different meanings.
Re: Abatatar
Make a shape like a potato?? They have a verb for that in Spanish and Portuguese? How very strange!
