I just remembered another one!! When in Mexico, if you want to find a motel, stop a Federale' and say "Donde easta los motas?" If he says back "Motas?" Say "Si' bueno mota, por favor'" This means "Yes, a nice motel."

Despite their fearsome reputation, the Fedarales' are always glad to help Gringos.


You sir, are totally EVIL!! ! :lol: :lol:

motas= pot, weed, buds


Yeah I never heard of motas but I thought it translated to speck. Which made no sense.

Learn to speak Spanish. When Canada and Mexico inevitably divide the US between them, you'll be happy you did.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go learn Canadian.

How 'boot those Maple Leafs, eh?

Just kidding. Everyone knows it is the Luxembourgeois who pose the greatest threat to the United States.

Another word the Mexicans love to use can be rendered " peen-chay".

This means well informed, or obviously intelligent.

You say "Hey puto, donde esta las cerveza?" (Excuse me well dressed young man, where can I buy some beer?)

He will turn to his "amigos" and say "Peen-chay gringo." (This white chap is obviously well informed.)

Out of courtesy they will then escort you to the nearest beer hall.

The spanish word for 'dog' is 'perro'.

Not to be confused with 'pero' which means 'but'

How to remember how to spell it:
Perro = rr sounds like a dog growling.

Ah yes, a subject near and dear to my heart. I used to work with a crew of mexicans, and in between drinking tequila on the job, and ducking the boss, they taught me Mexi-Spainish.

Donde' esta las bordello? (Where is the bus station?)

Tu madre esta las puta. (Your mother dresses nicely)

Some english words can be rendered quite easily in Spainish- horseshoe is zapatas de los cabayos.

Watch out though, the word "Corona" is a trick. The Mexicans pretend this is a beer, but in reality it is bottled used bathwater. They will even consume one with you just to amuse their amigos.

When addressing a young male, the salutation is "Hey puto." (Puto means well dressed.)

Glad to be of service.

Amperio hora sí, un cercano sujeto y querido a mi corazón. Trabajaba con un equipo del mexicano, y entre tequila que bebía en el trabajo, y ducking el jefe, él me enseñó Mexi-Spainish. ¿Burdel de los las del esta de Donde '? (donde está el término de autobuses?) Puta de los las del esta del madre de Tu. (sus vestidos de la madre agradable) Algunas palabras inglesas se pueden rendir en la herradura de Spainish- son absolutamente fácilmente zapatas de los cabayos. Mire hacia fuera sin embargo, la palabra "corona" es un truco. El mexicano finge esto es una cerveza, pero en realidad que se embotella utilizó el bathwater. Incluso consumirán uno con usted apenas para divertir a sus amigos. Al dirigirse a un varón joven, el saludo es "hey puto." (Puto significa vestido bien.) Alegre estar de servicio.

Watch towards outside nevertheless, the word "crowns" is a trick. The Mexican pretends this is a beer, but in fact that is bottled he used bathwater. They will even consume one with you hardly to amuse its friends. When going to a young man, the greeting is "hey puto." (Puto means affluent dress.) Cheer to be on watch.

You won't find this phrase to be of any use, but you might hear it said when you pass by.

A la izquierda del barco podemos ver los 'fanny bandits.'

I didn't say that. "Hostage" implies that you might release him at some point.

¿Donde son las vacas?
¿Abrazó usted un pingüino hoy?
¿Sabe usted los secretos de queso?

Todos muy común frases de personas españolas.

"Chupacabra" is quite the compliment. It means "woman respected in her community".

Thus: a young mexican male has helped you find your lost perro. You say"Tu' madre es la chupacabra." (Your mother is well respected.)

He will be astonished. How could you know his culture so well as to give him such a compliment?

He may even return it, "mi madre?, tu madre!"

So you say "Si', mis madre is la cupacabra also."
This will probably be followed by a big hug. Mexicans are quite open with their feelings, so expect group hugs at such a time.

If you lose your dogs again, just say "Eres uno maricon." It means "My dogs are where?"

I joked to my sister I could hire 100 Mexican day labors and pay them
$50 a day to look for the dogs and offer $500 reward to the man
who found them. But my sister informed me they might bring hundreds
of dogs to me.
