Spanglish is spoken near the border in Texas a lot i hear, where some are
under the mistaken impression they speak Spanish :)


Some of the examples i've heard:

- Puche los breques - push the brakes
- Guacha el carro - wash the car
- Va a la groceria - go to the grocery store

My Spanish professor from Spain is particularly amused at "Groceria"
