It’s “mosca”, which is just a common fly
Commenter gives a logical answer with information that is probably well-known for a good chunk of the world (Spanish speakers), yet it’s somehow still mind-blowing. Like “whoah, that’s where that came from!”
In Spanish you have one tamal but two tamales. In English you have one tamale, two tamales. We incorrectly removed the pluralization from tamales and now we have this hybrid word, tamale.

The meme is funny nonetheless.
Aaaalso, in Mexico calling a mosquito “mosco” is fair.
Which people also occasionally call “mosco”
Never heard that (I’m a native Spanish speaker)
Yes, but spanish is spoken all over the world. Who knows where the commenter is from
Well there is a lot of regional differences in Spanish
I have in Mexico
Yes, but it just means mosquito
Right, that’s what I’m saying, “Traes un mosco/mosquito/zancudo atrás”
But it doesn’t mean fly
I’m not sure what you’re getting at but I don’t think anybody implied that
Moscas (flies): 😐
You killed it! People shall sing your praises for generations!
Bro that mfer looks like it can feed a cat
Omg, kill it with fire!
Not sure if I should upvote for quality comment or downvote for the raw fear stricken in my soul
I’m Spaniard and I don’t know how the fuck to call that thing.
MOSQUITOTE?
‘Mosco’ is commonly used in different Spanish speaking countries. ‘Mosca’ is your regular house fly, ‘Mosco’ is used in some places to refer to the big black flies and horse flies.
Huh, that’s interesting. In russian, the general word for “small fly” is “мошка” (moshka). And plural of those is “мошкара” (moshkara).
Always fun to see related words.
A mosque?
If you’re hard of hearing, you don’t need to suffer in silence. Help is available
So I can suffer in noise? Sounds like a bad idea.
The suffering will stop when morale improves.

Wait until you find out what gordita means.
Mosca exists and also moscardón
Same in Portuguese, except mosca and moscardo instead. They almost sound like a Pokémon evolution line
When the mosquito drinks enough blood it becomes a Mosca and when a Mosca eats enough shit it becomes a Moscardó.
Those buggers live in Scandinavia I think….
They do, and funnily in Finnish, they are called hyttynen while one diminutive is -nen. The question is what the fuck is hytty.
Military-grade repellant you said? Time to break out the Star Wars Mosquito Defense System.

Does that also mean that the capital of Ecuador is really modest?
