Say what now?

I’ve decided I want to learn to speak Spanish; well actually I want to learn it. Speaking isn’t a requirement.

Not because I think it will take me places (although some may argue that it is a great resume plus) or because I like to learn new things, or even because…..

I simple want to learn it for boys, actually to be exact for men. I want to learn Spanish for men!

Yup, you heard it right!

Now wait a minute, maybe I should be clear here for a minute. I don’t have a crush on a Spanish speaking man, although I do know a lot of very cute Spanish speaking boys!  Rather I feel left out of the conversation by men. Specifically, men on the street. To be even more specicfic men I walk by on the street.  Now, I can guees what they might be saying and I know where their intensions tend to lie, but I still don’t know what they are saying.

See the lovely young black gentalman I passed on my way to the subway tonight said the following:  ”where you headed to (something that sounded more like sounds rather then words) you sexy thang, come back here now”

That I understand (minus the grunting in the middle) but when I passed the sort little I’ll say nice looking (to be nice) man on the subway platform he said the following:

“Ca-soming-soming-Me-something with a do-daddy over the vowel”

? Right ?

Yeah, no clue!

Now it had the same tone as the guy I had passed a mere 5 minutes before, so my brain assumes it’s the same context, but then how do I know!  I’m the little Canadian girl who basically after years of vacations in Mexico I know how to say “yes, no” and the ever important “how much?”  (But drop me in France, and I’ll get behind those dirty men’s words)

So, I am setting out to learn Spanish! Or at least Google a good sight with Spanish pickup lines and then Google a translator site.  Any suggestions?
