ARE YOU A LATINO? HOW CAN YOU TELL FOR SURE?

#1 06-21-04, 11:18 AM

1) If you have ever been hit by a "Chancla. "
2) If you grew up scared by something called "El Cucuy"
3) If others tell you to stop screaming when you are really just talking.
4) If you light a candle to Virgin Mary on the night before your big test.
5) If you use your head to point something out.
6) If you constantly refer to cereal as "con fleys".
7) If your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you for dinner, even if it's a one bedroom apartment.
8) If you can dance merengue, cumbia, or salsa without music.
9) If you use "manteca" instead of olive oil and can't figure out why your nalgas is getting bigger.
10) If you are in a five passenger car with seven people in it and a person is shouting "subanse, todavia caben mas!"
11) If whenever you feel under the weather, you compulsively dab on some "Vic's vapor rub" all over your pecho and inside your nostrils.
12) Your mom packs your "lonche" every day even though you've just turned thirty-two.
13) If you call the North Americans "gringos", including Canadians and call all Asian people "chinos" or "chinitos" and you call the corner store "the chinito's store".

Send this to all your Latino friends!!!! You can also send this to your non-Latino friends, but if you have to explain more than three items, what's the point???

Excuse me while I go eat some chicharones......
