What Does cake Mean
The concept of cake refers, in general, to the dough of flour and other ingredients that is simmered and has a rounded shape. However, the use of the word varies by country .
In Argentina , Bolivia , Chile, and other South American nations, a torta is a sweet cake that is cooked in the oven and is usually filled with layers of some kind of creamy sweet. Cakes are used in ceremonies such as birthday parties and weddings.
In this sense, cake is usually used as a synonym for cake , except in Argentina, where a cake is a flat and smaller cake, usually made with puff pastry.
In Mexico , a cake is a type of sandwich that is very characteristic of the country's fast food. The cakes can be filled with meat, ham, chicken, cheese, sausage or seafood, for example, and include seasonings such as mayonnaise or mustard.
For the Spanish, a cake is a kind of sponge cake or a type of flat bread . On the other hand, Argentines and Uruguayans eat fried cake , which is a sheet of dough that is fried in fat and made with flour, salt, water and fat.
Leaving food aside, a slap in the face or a blow or fall is called cake : "Juan took a cake with the car and is hospitalized . "
However, we cannot ignore the fact that cake is also the term that is used to define the drunkenness that a particular person carries. Thus, a clear example of this meaning would be the following: "What a cake Juan had when he left the nightclub at the wee hours of the morning."
In the same way, we must underline the existence of a series of expressions that we use in colloquial language on a daily basis that include the concept that we are now in charge of analyzing. One of those would be the one that says "eat cake." It is specifically an adverbial phrase with which what we want to express is that what is being said is not understood.
The latter meaning that is closely related to that of another of the adverbial phrases that make use of the term cake. More exactly we are referring to "neither cake" which we could say is synonymous with "nothing". A phrase that can serve as an example to understand that is the following: "Manuel did not understand even a cake of what the science teacher explained in class."
To all these expressions we should add one of very general use that surely we have all used at some time in our lives. It is specifically the one that says "not half a cake." With her, what we want to make clear is that someone is weak. In this way we can use it as in this example: "Pedro does not have even half a cake, his opponent in the ring will quickly defeat him."
Finally, we can mention that torta is, in certain regions, the short for tortillera , an insulting way of referring to a lesbian .
