Transcript of “Burning the Coconuts”
The Spanish word for sunroof, like the sunroof in a car, is quemacocos, which is a wonderful word.
Because the word coco is a slang term for head, it has to do with the head’s resemblance to a coconut. And in Spanish, quemar means to burn. So quemacocos. You pull back the sunroof and you burn your head. Quemacocos.
