Random Wordplay for Wednesday 9/15/10

Jalea.

Used in a sentence: I don't think you're ready for this Jalea.

For this to work, I'm hoping that Jalea does translate to "jelly" -- you know, as if Destiny's Child were to be performing a concert in Spanish. Or, as if some Disney movie were to animate the real scene at the beaches in Spain last month that had hundreds attacked by jellyfish (a flotilla, cried some headlines) -- making the group of tourists clamoring out of the ocean (can you actually clamor out of something, 'cause I desperately want that half-hearted pun to work) seem like less of a horror movie.

To be honest, I blame Portugal. Man-of-war, indeed!
