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

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 55 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

little donkeys = burritos

cheesy = quesadilla

light meal? Livianos?

What the fuck is "taco" in English?

[–] weremacaque@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

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.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (6 children)

The Canadian government is pretty weird about that aren't they?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 63 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Quebec government, specifically. Other provinces only require government services to be provided in both French and English but private businesses can mostly do what they want. Quebec requires private business to be conducted in French unless the customer requests service in a different language. Any non-French text or speech made to a customer before they request it can be seen as a violation. They can be a little overzealous at times.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What's the menu like for Indian restaurants in Quebec? Are there French names for Biryani, Paratha, Paneer etc?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

At a certain point I have to assume they just slap a bunch of "le"s on and call it a day

Damn, I've heard jokes about quebecios being snobby with their French but that seems excessive.

Which makes it all the more hilarious that the French people I know have joked about Quebec speaking "garbage French"

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

There are certainly stories of overzealous enforcement, but the context of Loi 101 and its amendments is worth considering.

Québecois is really interesting. It has a lot of old, outdated French in it due to the colonial connection with France being severed hundreds of years ago, where it evolved distinctly and the locals made different decisions on what to change and how to adapt to new concepts.

One could argue the French government has been obsessive about policing language much longer with the académie française.

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

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

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] 790@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago

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

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

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

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (14 children)

"Mexican"

¡ES ESPAÑOL, MAMAGÜEVO!

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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

Thanks, Obama.

He [Tom Homan] was appointed by President Barack Obama as Immigration and Customs Enforcement's executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations in 2013.

In 2015, Obama awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. A Washington Post article at the time stated, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."

considering that english already has a bunch of loan words from spanish that are considered "english", they same should probably apply to taco bell menu.. So are they really "spanish" words in that sense?

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Didn't you hear him, they're not Spanish words at all, they're MEXICAN words

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.

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.
