My wife's first language is Spanish and just from the "endearments" she uses to let me know how I'm doing I've developed a rich vocabularly which I sometimes use with abandon when I'm around people who are immune to their sting. Once in a while I slip as when a cab driver in Puerto Rico cuts me off for instance. Fortunately I'm a good driver and fast when I need to make a getaway.

Reminds me of a funny experience-- When in a magasin biologique (health food store) in the South of France, I inquired as to whether a certain product was without "preservatifs" but the actual expression should have been "agents de conservation". The first word means condoms!! How embarrassing!!
