Lost in Translation

We're trying to learn Spanish. We really really are! Sometimes, though, things don't always come out the way we would like.....(Editor's Note: This post will be updated every time we put our American feet in our mouths)
*Elliot confused the Spanish words for 20 and 50 and ended up coming home with 50 McNuggets
*Not knowing what "mollejas" means but seeing the word "pollo" in front of it, Will ordered 6 plates full of chicken gizzards. Each plate had at least 20 gizzards on it, resulting in about 120 chicken necks
*If you're looking for a place to dance the night away, make sure you ask for a "disco". If you go around asking where the "hottest club is", you'll be taken to a whore-house. You'll probably figure it out pretty quickly, as women in Spain aren't THAT friendly

*I asked for two ice cream cones while pointing to loaves of bread (cucuchillo vs chulo)

*I asked the dry-cleaner to grill my tablelcoth

*I told the cleaning lady at work that there were "3 bread asses" in the fridge, if she wanted them.
