Uh...I don't think that word means what you think it does

Post by DanBerger »

So, I was in Mexico last week and a cab driver asked me how I was and I responded, "Ugh, muy caliente!" He about barfed from choking and my friend about jumped out of her skin trying to explain to everyone.

Apparently, we ignorant Americans have been taught that 'Caliente' means 'hot'. It does, but it is slang for HORNY. awesome. The correct word for saying that one is (temperature) hot in Spanish is 'calor'.

So, You guys sailing with Caliente sails have something to talk about.
