I tried many variations on Good Witch of the South. I had no recollection of her real name being used, so her title had seemed to be her name.

Glinda was originally the good witch of the south, who sent Dorothy home at the end of the book. The good witch of the north met Dorothy when she arrived in Oz. The movie conflated the two characters.

In the original book, the Good Witch of the North is not given a name, while the Good Witch of the South was indeed called Glinda. The 1939 movie combined the two characters into Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.

Well, a score is 20 of *anything*. Lincoln's Gettysberg address of course referenced years, but it's not exclusively for years.

Everybody should read "The Butter Battle Book"! It's definitely much, much different than the average rhyming Dr. Seuss picture book, while still being, ya know, a rhyming Dr. Seuss picture book.

On Google Translate, the first definition is "handsome." "Cute" isn't even on the list of other possible translations.

Neither English nor Spanish is my mother tongue, but I'd translate "guapo" as "pretty". That one didn't work either.

"Guapo" is masculine, so "pretty", which is almost exclusively feminine in English, doesn't work well.

"Lindo" ("Pretty" or "Dear") can be used with masculine nouns, although it's normally with places.

"Paisaje" ("Landscape"), "Pueblo" ("Town"), or any masculine sounding place (that is, ending with "-o"), like in the expression "México Lindo y Querido" ("Beloved Dear Mexico")
