It's probably best if you not go to the police later to complain you didn't get paid.

(01-12) 18:03 PST Greenfield, Calif. (AP) --

Police have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.

Police said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.


Wonder how much of the bride price he actually received.

You better sell her now while there is still time to train her right. Once they get set in their ways, the value drops.

Ewww Corona?

Oh and Gatorade is nice for hangovers. Pairs nicely with the free booze.

I do not know why, forgive me ... but I had a weird thought of "Jesus Martinez" feeding the 5000 with only his Negra Modelo, wine and Gatorade.

You'd probably want to go for a Latina girl though. Unless you're going for a Crying Game thing.

You're not allowed to conjugate with the Latinas until you cough up the Gatorade.

That's redundant though. You'd just say "Latina". Latino refers to the group (which is masculine), or to a single male member of that group. In English, the phrase "Latino girl" is equivalent to "Latina" and perfectly correct.

No. Latina conveys no information about age, girl does, so it's not equivalent. It's redundant the same way "Female girl" would be.

Except that if you use the word "girl" (which is English) in the same phrase, you should use the English (non gender) word "Latino". If you wish to speak of a female from Latin America generically, you'd use the word "Latina" (although there's an interesting set of connotations to this depending on the degree of familiarity with or relationship you have with the person you're talking about). If you wished to use a more specific word in this case, you'd simply use "Nina" (with the doohicky over the "n", which I can't remember how to do on my keyboard at the moment).

You'd never use the phrase "Latina Nina" for example. Ever. If you were speaking Spanish you might refer to someone as a "Nina Latina", but only if there was a question as to the ethnicity of the girl in question. Even then, it's a bit odd, since language and ethnicity tend to flow together, and it would normally be assumed. You'd specify ethnicity if she "wasn't" Latina when speaking Spanish, not the other way around.


If you are speaking English, and you wish to identify someone as a young female of Latin American descent, you'd use exactly the phrase "Latino girl".
