I believe Kamala would also be the first president with no children of their own, but married someone with their own children.

Apparently they call her Mamala, which is adorable.

Washington had no biological children but had multiple step children:

Mamala is very adorable.

I was not aware of that! Thank you!

please, don't look for what it means Mamala in Spanish xD

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 months ago

And don't look for what "Kamala" means in Finnish.

Hey, they couldn't sell the Chevy Nova in Spanish-speaking countries either.

My favorite counter to the myth about 'Nova' and 'no va' is that in english, you wouldn't refuse to by a dining room set called "Notable".

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I never thought about that. Good point.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That’s apocryphal. Guess what the word for a stellar nova is in Spanish.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Well TIL. But then I'm guessing they won't have an issue with 'Mamala' in this context either, if they even learn about it.

I speak spanish "mamala" means "suck it" I guess some would understand some otgers would.laugh. I didn't make the conection until he mentioned really.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago
