LMAO, I used to speak textbook perfect Spanish until I worked in the inner city Latino neighborhood. Now I speak slang Spanish, and make up my own words for things when I dont know the real word, like a good Mexican. To park your car is no longer estacionar, but parkear, etc.

My husband Joe worked with a Mexican man named Noey, and Noey would say, "they just don't know me Yo," for they just don't know me, Joe. I think its totally endearing. Now I get the b's, v's and p's mixed up, and cant spell. For example is it cabron or cavron? bendeho o pendeho? It all sounds similar to me. (Interesting how the only examples I could come up with are swear words)
