I guess it's human nature to have a bit of "language tutorial" fun. You should see some of the Tagalog "lessons" posted in YouTube. (Have you dined in Mamonluk?) :-) Hi Tukayo!

Yes, it would be hilarious to blurt out these words in the presence of foreigners (Hispanics). But I think it's a basic (if juvenile) frailty of people (not just the Spaniards) to get a cheap laugh out of foreigners trying to learn one's language. I remember some classmates back in college, who had a ball teaching dirty Visayan words to a couple of Korean exchange students. And I thought all along that "mamon" was Chinese. :) Manny Manuel,
