Spanish word of the day

...another tongue twister! Thanks to Rosario & Jessi @ El Rancho:

Pepe pecas
Pica papas
con un pico
Pepe Peca
pica papas.

(I'm not quite sure what this means--any ideas David?)

Pepe it's the name of the guy and pecas means freckles, so I guess it's like a nickname: "Pepe freckles"

Picar means to eat, and papas are potatoes in some latin american places, so he eats potatoes.

Sometimes we refer to the mouth as "pico" which literally means beak.

So basically your tongue twister would mean Freckles Pepe eats potatos with his mouth.
