Re: [escepticos] RV: Tonight....

[Josep Català Medina <tecpress@...>]

Javier:
Sólo una aclaración sobre un error que no me importa que cometan los
magufos....pero no alguien "de los nuestros". "Fetén", palabra que no sé si ya
está admitida por la Real de los reales, significa exactamente lo contrario de
lo que muchos creen. Por ejemplo: la "versión fetén" del Discovery Channel seria
"la mala".
En criminologia se usa bastante este adjetivo. Incluso en literatura penal: "el
acusado hizo ostentación de una pistola fetén" (por "una pistola de fogueo", en
contraposición con pistola "auténtica").
Saludos.
Josep Català
