He knows "taco" is a Spanish word, doesn't he?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 22 hours ago

Spanish? You mean Mexican.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

They should call it by its proper English name: "corn chip sandwich."

Taco Bell was a cynical invention by Alexander Graham Bell to sell more Bell peppers.

I feel like this is fake.

Two reasons. I was unable to find a video clip of this, and it's not nearly racist enough for these shit-hawks.

If some has the clip, please share.

Edit: 3 reason, we're also on a shitpost channel.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

I mean, third reason, he's labeled as "Homan" which seems pretty close to Human but just a bit off. And that's simply too on-the-nose for the topic.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

It's definitely fake. The screenshot is from around the 4:37 timestamp.

Sadly, it doesn't matter if he said it when it is entirely reasonable to believe that he did. It isn't the most racist or the stupidest thing this guy has said on national television.

Snowflake racist: Burrito is a Mexican word 😭 Chad globalist: Burrito is a human word 😎

Diogenes: Behold a burrito! Holding a calzone

I don't speak Spanish, but based on the absolutely tiny bit I do know, would this mean quesadillas would become "little cheesies"?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Two spicy little donkeys with everything, three light meals for the boys, and a little cheesy for my wife, please.

So, apparently it comes from "quesada" which was a form of cheesecake, and the "illa" diminutive ending. Over time it has come to mean a fried tortilla with cheese and other fillings.... except...

In Mexico City, quesadillas don't necessarily have cheese in them. The rest of the country makes fun of them for it. But, if you're ever in Mexico City and want a nice cheesy quesadilla, be sure to order a "quesadilla con queso".

Damn it, now I'm hungry.

Top tier comment right here, I didn't know this.

Now I want to try some huitlacoche. Sounds delicious.

At this point, I'm not completely sure that this administration has really only appointed the most qualified people for those cabinet positions.

Tbf taco bell is anything but Mexican

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (14 children)

"Mexican"

¡ES ESPAÑOL, MAMAGÜEVO!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (9 children)

Completely glancing over the fact that there is exactly zero Mexican items at Taco Bell. Everything there is some kinda bastardized American Midwest slop. I think the only actual Spanish on the menu is "gordita" which loosely translates into ~~fat bitch~~ little fatty (really out of practice with my Spanish), which seems fitting.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Ehhh... "gordita" does not translate to "Fat Bitch" but "Little Faty"...

I find bigotry and stupidity offensive and this guy still gets to say this stupid bigoted shit on television.

Too fucking bad for both of us.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 days ago (16 children)

You laugh but the Quebec government attempted to fine an Italian restaurant for having the names of their dishes in Italian, many of which have no French name.

What the fuck is "taco" in English?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Probably something like a “ground beef, cheese, tomato and lettuce flatbread sandwich with a drizzle of tomato based sauce.” Which is folded like a taco and looks exactly like a taco, but is definitely not a taco.

They’d deport the Taco Bell dog if it was still alive.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You must be offended that Starbucks has Italian named drinks too.

FYI: No one who has ever had a “caramel macchiato” at Starbucks has ever had a macchiato at Starbucks.

In " Mexican "...

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The U.S. government announces that four more words will no longer be permitted for use within scientific documents: Taco, Burrito, Quesadilla and Fajita.
