That's a first. Ones I use most often are: "Aver a que horas" when someone is taking long at something and I want to rush them. "Uno que es chingon" pretty much whenever I feel like I excelled at something and want to gloat. "Pos oyeme" same as above. "Pareses nuevo" when someone does something stupid and I want to make fun of them. ...and of course other vulgar, sexist, or 'referenced to some homosexual act' phrases as well...but I will leave those out for now.

I was thinking why "norteado," and if it has anything to do with coming to 'el norte' and feeling lost. okay, is not calo. "simon que yes" i say it now and then. i was recently thinking of the word “Norteado” and how we often use it to meen that we are disoriented. like when you go into a building and than forget which way is the exit.

This is what my good friend Lucio says, every time he means "Yes, Can I help you?" He tells us that when he first moved to the U.S. he worked for a florist and his boss used to always ask his customers, "Yes can I help you?" One day, his boss stepped out and an Anglo customer came in, so Lucio had to assist him by phrasing his question the only way he phonetically knew how. He stepped to the counter and said, "Yes, Cara de Apio?" and the customer proceeded to place his order and was taken care of. LOL This of course is our greeting to him, every time he calls us on the phone. "Lucio! - Cara de Apio?" “Yes, Cara de Apio?”
