Legal Lingo for Life's Key Moments: "Tried One on My Wife and Barely Survived"

Cuban content creator and attorney Gladys Carredeguas, known on social media as @gladyscarredeguas, has taken the internet by storm with a video that has captivated her audience. Titled “What You Say vs. How It's Said in Legal Language,” the video cleverly demonstrates the art of translating everyday phrases into eloquent legal jargon.

The video kicks off with an intriguing question: “How would you say ‘I am right’ in legal terms?” Gladys responds promptly and expertly: “My position is supported by verifiable facts and legally admissible evidence.”

She continues to skillfully transform common expressions into courtroom-worthy statements:

“You’re ignorant.” → “You exhibit a blatant lack of knowledge regarding the facts under discussion.”
“Do whatever you want.” → “It is at the discretion of the opposing party to proceed as they deem appropriate.”
“I don’t accept that.” → “I formally express my rejection of said claim.”
“That’s not my responsibility.” → “Such responsibility is not legally attributable to me.”
“That makes no sense.” → “The argument lacks logical and legal foundation.”
“That’s not fair.” → “The proposed measure is incompatible and disproportionate to the principles of equity.”

The video has been widely shared for its witty portrayal of how lawyers can transform any simple phrase into a formal declaration. Viewers have praised the humor and creativity with which Gladys captures the essence of the legal world.

One online commenter humorously noted, “I told my wife ‘it is at the discretion of the opposing party to proceed as they deem appropriate’ and she threw a frying pan at me.”

Gladys, the daughter of Cuban immigrants in the United States, has shared in one of her posts: “My parents left behind everything they knew to give me a future in this country. (...) I want them to proudly say: ‘Our daughter protects and defends thousands of immigrants like us because she understands the sacrifices we endured.’”

The video, which showcases the transformation of colloquial phrases into legal terms, has garnered over 68,000 interactions and surpassed one million views.

Thanks to her entertaining and educational approach, Gladys continues to rise in popularity, resonating with those who have ever dreamed of mastering “legal language.”
