Funny that Claudia mentions about the origins of her name, cause Expósito also comes from latin. Expositus means exposed in latin. Basically it was a second name given to babies abandoned by their family. My latin teacher taught me that (Im spanish) My second name is López which comes from Lupus (wolf in latin) 😍

[@eiodintotalistli8448]

Así es. Y la Inclusa era un orfanatorio para niños expósitos. Respecto al apellido, la desinencia "ez" consiste en una alteración de la palabra "hez" con la intención maleva de relacionar un apellido y a su portador con las heces. Pasa lo mismo con el sufijo "ano" con que se designa la nacionalidad de mucha gente de América. La intención oculta y perversa es vincular a toda esa gente con el culo: mexicano, peruano, americano, colombiano.

[@2RANbit]

Words like phone, photo, dolphin, graphic and philosophy originated in ancient Greek. So why "ph" and not "f"? I will try to explain. "Ph" and "f" may sound quite similar, but they are written differently so they can be distinguished from eachother. A "ph" is expressed by using both lips, known as a bilabial. An "f", by contrast, is expressed using the lower lip against the upper front teeth, called a labiodental. An "f" may be more powerful and more obvious than a "ph", so an "f" may be the reason why it is preferred.

It's really sad that the "Spanish" girl has no idea about basic things in Spanish culture and also her pronunciation of Spanish is really weird. Claudia (or Claudio) comes from the Roman gens "Claudia" from "claudere" meaning "to close". The name was associated with being impaired only after Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus became emperor because he walked with a limp. Alba Flores is the granddaughter of Lola Flores, a very famous folk singer. Her father was the late musician Antonio González Flores, her aunts Lolita and Rosario are also very famous singers, and well as her aunt Carmen Flores. Flores is not a gypsy surname, there are no "gypsy surnames", and there is a rather interesting documentary on Spanish TV Movistar+ named "Lola" where all the family explains their relation with gypsy culture and the fact that Antonio González (Lola's husband and Alba Flore's grandfather) was gypsy but Lola was not.

But in Latin America and Spain those words have a different use, not so offensive.
