Holy Cow! El es un papagayo!! Reminds me of the time I was in Mexico and we wanted a parrot. Our dictionary said "parrot" was "papagayo" so we went looking for un papagayo.......

We heard many no's and lots of "eh's ?"........then one day in the Oxaca market this girl asked

"Bibo?" (Alive??)
"Of course, why would I want a dead one?"

After I was home we had an Open House and invited all our friends, one of whom was a Cuban professor of Spanish. I was telling this story, still at a loss as to what was so funny, when he told me:

"Your dictionary is a Castillian one and papagayo is Castilian for parrot but Mexican for fighiting cock"..........turns out I was asking for a live fighting cock........never have lived that one down. Taught me to try to speak Spanish, huh?
