Excuse me, Mr. Google?
/Hello, mi gente! It's Amy again.
I'm having issues. I need help.
The other day, I was talking with my Mom and I was messing with her a bit when out-of-the-blue and for the first time in my life she exclaimed, "San Apapusio, baja!"
Umm . . . what?? who??
Obviously, she was frustrated and asking for a particular Saint to come down . . . I understand that part, but most Saints are famous for something and that's why you call on them.
So, what is San Apapusio famous for?
Before admitting to her that I didn't know what she was talking about, I did what any modern-day Cubana would do. I asked Mr. Google and guess what? HE DOESN'T KNOW!!!!
El Señor Google left me hanging. So I went to the next best source, Abuela. But, you won't believe this, she said, "It's just something we say when someone is being difficult and we're frustrated. I don't know why. Ask Mr. Google."
Great. This Mr. Google guy has only been here a couple days and already he's letting me down.
Not ready to admit defeat, I called my one Cuban friend who has only been here a couple years. He started laughing at me and said he had no idea who it was.
Ay, caramba!
WHO IS THIS SAN APAPUSIO?!?!?
ANYONE? ANYONE?
