Vocabulary Lesson

I learned a new Spanish slang word. It is tumbaburros and it means to be drowsy. However, when broken down and translated literally, it means to knock down a donkey. Tumbar is to knock something over and burro is donkey. Spanish is funny like that. Gives whole new meaning to the phrase 'knock you on your ass,' doesn't it?
