"No dar papaya"
"No dar papaya" is a saying here in Colombia that literally means "don’t give papaya", but colloquially it means don't put yourself in a position where you become vulnerable and can be taken advantage of.
Here that means don't wear/use iPods, jewelry or fancy clothes and don't go walking around deserted streets at night.

I thought papaya had a hard seed in the middle. Does this picture show what is inside a pod in the seed. Can you eat this also?? I love your posts.
ReplyDeletemmm...this is the inside of a papaya...no big seed and you don't eat these seeds.
ReplyDeletemaybe you were thinking of avocado, which tastes much better.
Tanner just told me it was a mango. I thought they were the same thing only spelled different. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
