Talk:Bob Ross vs Pablo Picasso/Rap Meanings/@comment-38208899-20190118041510

Per mi abuela (grandma), a Spanish person's long name indicates his lineage. It includes the names of his parents, grandparents, etc., and shows that he is an acknowledged son from an established family. At the time when Picasso was a grown man, to call Bob Ross "Bob" in this context would have been a serious insult. Basically, after listing his name to demonstrate his own legitimacy, for Picasso to follow this up by calling Ross "Bob" would imply that Bob Ross was an illegitimate son, which would have been a disgrace. Basically, Picasso was not just making fun of Ross' name - he was also calling Bob's mother a whore.

Upon watching A Princess Bride with me once, and hearing Inigo Montoya introduce himself, my grandmother declared loudly "Oh, he's a bastard!" because, she explained, only a bastard son would only have the one last name.
