Recently heard in the dorm...

Student (who happens to be American): Do you have an escoba?

David: puzzled look

Student: You know, for sweeping up a mess.

David: A dustpan?

Student: No, an escoba.  You know, the thing that you use to sweep.

David: A broom?

Student: Yea, a broom.  That's it.

David: It's behind the door there.

Maybe one day I'll know Spanish so well that I won't be able to think of the English word for something.  :)

oh man...I do that in Russian all the time. It is annoying, especially when I am in Canada!
