Every so often L.A. Mayor Karen Bass gets referred to as Basura. A number of man-on-the-street interviews of Hispanics in Los Angeles have been calling her this.
In case anyone is wondering what Basura means, it is a Spanish word.
Here's its meaning from SpanishDictionary.com:
a. trash Se me olvidó sacar la basura antes de irme a trabajar.I forgot to take out the trash before going to work.
b. garbage La calle está llena de basura por la huelga de los basureros.The street is full of garbage because of the garbagemen strike.
c. rubbish Aquí dentro huele a basura.It smells of rubbish in here.
d. litterLa playa estaba llena de basura.The beach was full of litter.
So, now you know!
