Your friend is absolutely right.. In Spain there's about 4 different recognised versions of Spanish.. 99% of people speak or at least understand Castilian, 2nd is Catalan which is mostly spoken by Northern Spanish (Basque region) etc The Spanish spoken in Spain..is the first Spanish language..Mexican and Latino Spanish all came after and vary in different ways...some more than others!!
oops forgot to answer the second part...Pig is called Cerdo in Spain...or Jamon Iberico of course..which is the most delicious pork of all.. ( I actually don't like pork other than the latter)
Here it's a Mexican word for someone who doesn't have one. (Job pronounced Yob with an accent). Not making a racist statement. It was a word used as a joke from a Latino co-worker of mine. Think it came from an old sitcom.
We have all four in Florida as well. Once you get south of Lake Okeechobee, very little English can actually be heard.
I love this one. It is Australian, but supposed to have origins in England. Is it still used? fair dinkum Means fair play, genuine, honest. Fair dinkum is sometimes used as a question to confirm the truth or genuineness of something. Dinkum comes from British dialect. It is recorded from Lincolnshire, England in 1881
@Nancy Hart Peter Dinklage Any connection by similarity? Peter Dinklage wins Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama! "Dinklage struggled to make ends meet when he moved to New York to further his acting career. Staying in a run-down apartment that had no heating and hardly any comfort, he strived hard to get good work, something that was hard to come by given his physical stature. Despite the scarce means, he stood his ground and refused rolesthat were typically written for dwarves, to either bring comic relief or to heighten the supernatural element using the 'elf' as a trope." https://www.mensxp.com/entertainmen...ter-dinklage-has-stood-tall-against-life.html I really like this guy!
