Noun, pronounced drong-kee-or-tay.
The phenomenon whereby a
person's spoken Spanish improves dramatically when they are drunk. It results from less inhibition and more confidence derived from excessive
alcohol intake.
Origin - an almagamation of two concepts: (1) the famous Spanish novel about deluded Don Quixote and (2) "dronkie" - an Afrikaans
word meaning "drunkard".
Concerned friend: Hey
buddy, you seem unsteady. How many have you had?
Dronquixote: Tranquilo, mi amigo. Solo ocho. Y tu?
(Relax, my friend. Only 8. And you?)
Concerned friend: Oh great, Dronquixote has appeared.
Dronquixote:
Si, correcto! Ahora vamos a bailar!
(Yes, that's right! Now lets
dance!)
