And in Mexico (or other Spanish-speaking countries), you can ask for a Coke or a Pepsi, but never ask the server, “¿Tiene usted una cola?” (That’s, “Do you have a tail?”)
A few years after blundering my way through high school Spanish I found myself stationed in Spain. Boy do I wish I had payed more attention in school. But I quickly learned how to ask for a beer. I also learned not to buy American or other imported beers, they put formaldehyde in them as a preservative, Bars smelled like a biology lab.
