So not everyone in colombia is selling coke or bewitched. I thought it was some subtle, you like drugs? But no, its more like, "Que." Or more clearly, "I don't understand your spanish gringo." Have you seen it?

chitownguy says on Sep 15, 2008, 06:54: Yeah I've seen that in Cuba too. I think it would be real difficult to get someone to stop, but yeah, it can be real unflattering.

lpdiver says on Sep 15, 2008, 19:00: Or pointing by poking your tounge against the inside of your cheek. I told my wifes friend I thought she was offering a blow job at the last party when she did this. Everyone died laughing then acknowledged it to seem so. "cook some rice!" 2 funny, 0 helpful. |
