"Daddies Favorite Brown Sauce" has always made me wonder what is going on in the UK. Supposedly the people there are native English speakers.

I met a couple of girls in Cordoba who said they were going "footing" the next day.

I gave my friend a sideways look at the time, but they then explained that it was just running.

We asked why they dont just say running, or better yet, corriendo.

Maybe they were just pulling our feet ... or legs

A furniture store somewhere on Cabildo, "BLOW! Muebles infantiles" (www.mueblesblow.com.ar) really cracked me up.

My favorite has to be when my Argentine friends asked me if "touch and go" meant the same thing to us (in the states) as it does to them. Maybe this is widely known here, but I didn't realize they use it to mean casual sex instead of very precarious or uncertain.

Fer, so glad to see BA podcast stars hanging around these forums! I love the show.

The last time I was in Punta del Este, there was a women's clothing store called "Tits."

I've got a photo in front of this place, and as the British would say:

"It's the ____." Well, you know.

The wife has some cream called "Manos al Vista" - translated on the bottle as "Hand's Up" (their apostrophe), which of course would be "Manos Arriba". Apparently the makers of this cream aren't very good with English OR Spanish.
