Yea… spanish has a lot of variables… here in PR we call cakes “bizcochos” whereas in other countries that same word means vagina(in a vulgar way).. So go figure when you go to a bakery and ask for bizcocho to the lady clerk… lol!!!

In the all to common traffic jams, guys will walk between the cars selling "Cubanos". They are like waffle cones rolled up with dolce de leche inside. One day I was was in a truck with two Argentines and two Mexican guys and decided to try some "Cubanos". I honestly can't remember the Argentine word for the filling, but whatever they called it, the mexican guys did not understand. So, the Mexican guys took a bite and after exclaiming "ahh, es cajeta," The Argnetine guys' heads whipped around, eyes wide open glancing down at their "cubano" wondering why theirs did not have this same filling. So now that everyone in the car was thoroughly confused, I had to ask what all the confusion was about. It turns out that in Argentina, cajeta is a rather lude term refering toe the taste of a woma....better not go there. Anyway, it was really fun getting to know the difference between the two dialects. Just shows, you have to be careful...might end up insulting someone. ;) On Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 11:19 AM, Jaime Solorza via Af <af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com>> wrote: I also walk every evening as religiously as I can and hike on weekends.
