Shouldn't Chad Johnson have changed his name to "ochenta y cinco" instead of "ocho cinco"?

Question

"Ocho cinco" is "eight five" not "eighty five". Isn't 85 "ochenta y cinco"?

Isn't that like saying Peyton Manning's number is "one eight" not "eighteen" or Tom Brady is "one two" not "twelve"?

Answer 2

That's what happens when you fall asleep during Spanish class

Answer 3

Answer 4

I think Ocho Cinco is catchier though.

Answer 5

no,because chad johnson comes from the thuglife streets. they talk with slangs. Ochenta y cinco sound like a girl version of eighty five lol.

EveryBody knows that ocho cinco means 8 5.

Answer 6

Good point.  I've often thought of that.  Native Spanish speakers will be confused at Chad's new name of Chad Eight Five.

The guy originally had it on his jersey to "celebrate Spanish heritage month" which made me laugh.

Answer 7

You are, in fact, correct. Chad Johnson is stupid.

Answer 8

Ocho Psycho

Answer 9

It should be NoShow Sinko

Answer 10

Personally, I hope he gets traded to a team and they already have that number assigned or better yet..RETIRED!!!

This is such a foolish move. Another j******f . He and Rodman, Keyshawn Johnson ( just gimme the damned ball) , T.O. ( who actually has improved...mad skillz but seems to have toned it down a bit...maybe I shouldn't have him listed here) , and all those lying steroidal MLB players who lied about it including The Bash Brothers ( well, at least one admitted it but punked out a bit too much in his books) ...they ALL have made stupid moves. At least poeple like T.O ...and MAYBE PacMan ( the jury is still out on that one...standing at the nearest strip bar)...appear to have gotten it.

Chad is just another in the long line of athletes who think they transcend the game. ( Well, it WAS a good Kodak moment when he wore that Future Hall Of Fame jacket....)

You are correct in your phrasing, but look at the mentality we're dealing with here? Not a Rhodes Scholar here.....
