Mexican Slang Meaning

Spanish: Trajinera

Type: Vocabulary

Meaning: punt (typical of Xochimilco)

Se puede tomar un paseo sobre los canales de Xochimilco en trajinera, pero no es recomendable en semana santa, cuando hay muchísima gente. En los antiguos tiempo se decoraban los barquitos de madera con flores de verdad, y luego con flores de plástico. Hoy día las flores están pintadas sobre las trajineras, y cada una lleva el nombre de una mujer. (You can take a ride along the Xochimilco canals in a punt, but Easter Week is not the best time, as there are tons of people. In the olden days the wooden boats were decorated with real flowers, and later with plastic flowers. Today the flowers are painted on the punts, and each one also has a woman’s name.)
