An untranslatable word from the Spanish language; the time spent around the table after lunch or dinner, talking to the people you shared the meal with; time to digest and savor both food and friendship

A man responsible for naming a newborn baby that is not his own. This applies to first or middle names. Like a godfather, but better. The namefather may pass out cigars after the birth or teach the child things their parents have no time for.
