Neblina is another Spanish word I learned during my time in South Texas. It refers to the lightest mist possible, where the water droplets seem to be suspended in the air. You’re basically just walking through a cloud. Today, there was rain all day, but it had let up by the time I went for my walk. This light mist, the neblina, was waiting for me as I reached the river, the city aglow with the full moon through the low cloud cover. I was reminded that I once tried to impress a Spanish-speaking friend with the delicacy of the word, neblina. She said, “Oh that, we just say, ‘eres mojado pendejo’ ”, which basically means, “You’re getting wet, dumbass”.
