In America, or at least Wilkes-Barre, Pa., you apparently need to know the language.

Re: When in America ...

That's funny, young people in my area could benefit from English lessons, too. And they're natives.
 
That's funny. When I saw the thread title, I thought about my half-sister.

She got all pissed off at me for using Spanish in conversation recently. She called me one Saturday morning and I sleepily said "Buenas dias" after she said hello. She angrily informed that she. Didn't. Speak. Spanish. She then complained about all the Mexicans she works with, including one who amuses himself by telling her that Mexicans are going to take over the USA. She's very worried about the reconquista.

It's very disconcerting having someone all mad at you before you're even awake. I'm not married, so the expereince is infrequent.
 
I never bothered to learn geology. I hope I never get hauled in front of that judge. I'll be breaking rocks for 20 years.

The great thing is that we've got you all thinking it's a big joke. We'll see if you're still laughing when the reckoning comes.
 
My response? I'll use whatever language I ****ing want and you can grab a plate of STFU.

Of course, I'll probably say all that in Spanish to really **** 'em off.

Chale, 'mano. Estoy listo. Me gusta salsa habanera y soy un fanatico de Chivas. Y los Leones de Yucatan, en beisbol.

If you're asking "why," por que is two words. In an answer, it'd be one word.

Por ejemplo: Por que no te callas?
Porque eres un pendejo.
 
Si, si, es verdad. Me olvidado mi espanol. Hace siete anos desde que mi ultima clase.

Como se dice Spanish-jack en espanol?

No existe la palabra en espanol. Pero, puede decir "secuestrar la tema" for hijack the topic.
 
Damn, this thread's bringing back some memories.

When I worked at a call center, I'd often be the one who'd end up speaking to Spanish language customers.

When I worked at a call center went to Tijuana, I'd often be the one who'd end up speaking to Spanish language customers negotiating with the hookers.
 
My Spanish-speaking skills go straight to el diablo when I'm very tired. One night in Guadalajara, I was exhausted and hungry...found a little stand selling tamales. I meant to order tamales de rajas, which means tamales stuffed with strips of pepper. Instead, my tongue failed and I ordered tamales de ratas.
Whoops...
