Aine - very well spoken! And then there's always the danger of slang usages. I once ordered a papaya milkshake in a Cuban shop in Miami's Little Havana. I suspected I was in deep doo-doo when I asked for "papaya con leche" and the guy's in the place started to snicker. I was certain of it when the girl behind the counter (about 13-14 or so) blushed and ran to get her mother. Mama came out and asked what I wanted. I repeated my request, she smiled sweetly, served me, and I enjoyed it very much, despite the continuing snickering of the guys in the place. When I got back the the friends' place where I was staying and told them the story, they were nearly rolling on the floor in laughter. It turns out that in Cuban dialect, the fruit called papaya is known as "la fruta bomba", or "bomb fruit", an obvious reference to it's usual shape. The word "papaya" is the slang term a woman's privates. That was the only time I ever ordered a "pussy milkshake".
