Exactly how I feel right now. There is a saying in Spanish "parir chayotes" ("give birth to chayotes"). The sort of "chayotes" people refer to, however, are full of spines.

Sometimes every word feels like a chayote.

(Though I know the expression is far from achieving Vallejo's skillfulness and elegance it seems appropriate for the occasion.)
