so many words

This Spanish-speaker (from Spain) was telling me about her work with whales but she used the English word whales. I asked what the word was in Spanish and she told me ballena. "They have a word for everything", I thought. The story was so well received later that night by the English-speakers at the table that I decided to tell the Spanish-speaker (from Spain).

Apparently they have a word for stupid as well.
