Does eating beans every day for three weeks in Brazil make me a beaner? :)
No.

Thank God. *phew*

We wouldn't want you, ya dirty Uke.

And no one I know calls Brazilians "beaners"

Well they sure as fuck ate a lot of beans.  :yuk:

Indeed.  You can take the Mongol-Slav out of the Ukraine, right, ese? :(

You know, Ide, I don't think there's a one drop rule for beaners.  :P

I had some chorizo this morning. It was Spanish.

It says "No. 1 en Espana". Though the back says "Importat de [Company Name], Bucuresti", so it's probably gypsyfied. And contains horse meat.  :hmm:

Well, may contain horse meat (which I don't mind). Supposedly it's made from pork. I guess I shouldn't visit the Jewish museum today.

If a person = "that guy", and indicating a slightly negative/negative opinion of the person.

Hmm. That doesn't seem in keeping with how it's used here. It's more like "buddy", and certainly isn't used negatively that I've seen.

I'm pretty sure Martim isn't the first person I'd go to about Mexican customs, his links with the ambassador notwithstanding. :P

""esse" means "that" in Portuguese, but used mainly when the object isn't identified. ie give me "that thing". So he extrapolated. He's wrong, but i can see his reasoning.

Yeah but it's the motivation - to be seen as knowledgeable on subjects he clearly knows little about, that's the issue here. ;)
