Bed bugs belong to the kingdom Animalia, class Insecta and suborder Mala Lett, because although they do not transmit dangerous diseases, when they bite they cause an unbearable itch. Bed bugs make your life miserable and that's why, in Spanish, there is the word chinchar, accepted by the RAE in the double sense of "bother" and "fotre's". For this reason, when we talk about a bed bug we can refer to both a specimen of Cimex lectularius and a human tocanassos, with the difference that the former are usually found in beds and the latter, everywhere.
A raid on the old Twitter and TikTok convinces us that the thing, which some call collective psychosis, comes to us, like children, from Paris. Others go further and point out that Putin received Macron at the end of a kilometer table to make sure in case the French president had not arrived alone...
In case you didn't know what a bedbug looks like, X has become Wikipedia, and here we go. They are in the subways of all the cities of the world, according to tweeters, who have started a search like that of Pokémon Go at the time. There is a video of London with extra large bed bugs that bite even on the other side of the screen. The most curious thing is that no one thinks to crush them with the shoe and eliminate them, they have them in front, but record and record, record and record.
The end of the world will catch us with the iPhone in one hand and the scraper in the other. Lorenzo Lamas, the king of beds, would have a choice on the streets of half the world. Another of the videos of the moment shows the old City of Light with its abandoned mattresses, turned into the capital of Raska-yu, a viral song in Spain in the 1940s, with its bugs and defeats.
Those of us who went to the EGB remember that "chinchate" with which we used to annoy our colleagues and brothers. Childhood is the age of innocence, you know. At school we teased each other fiercely, and to the "chínchat" we added a "cascade" indicative of the good people we would become. Gloria Fuertes made a story about Chin-Cha-Te full of what today we would call values, but we were just doing the gitza, childhood is the age of, etcetera.
The networks are full, now and always, of chinchar professionals, experts in turning any moment into agony. Each holder has their own pointer, who seems to have no other intention than to ruin everyone else's party. Yes, bed bugs, what a nuisance.
