Spanglish

As I was waiting to pick up my new eyeglasses in Los Algodones, one of the staff was wrapping up a phone call.

"Okey-dokey, gracias, bye-bye."

Okey-dokey? Where had she acquired that bit of American slang? Perhaps from Yankee customers. Or maybe she lives in the US and commutes to Los Algodones.

Whatever. No importa.

  2. One of my favorite examples of Spanglish was overhearing a girl on her cell phone at the supermarket say "I'm doing compra".
