When I took Spanish I in high school, our weird Vietnamese teacher spoke four languages better than English and quit during the middle of a semester. When she left, we had just finished studying the section on food translations. When the new teacher arrived "” I think her name was Mrs. Dunn "” she thought we were just about to begin the food section.
As a result of this great moment in public education, about the only thing I remember from Spanish I are the names of foods. My favorite was "La Mantequilla," which is Spanish for "Butter." I just thought it was a cool-sounding word. It didn't sound like you were saying "Butter." It sounded like you were saying something eloquent and smooth, especially when you added "Te Gusta" (you like) in front of it.
This resulted in an odd fascination with phrase "Te Gusta La Mantequilla." It was my own substitute for the 1990's staples "Shah, Right," "As If" and "Regulators!!!!." My fascination with the word eventually got me in some trouble. During a Spanish test that I didn't study for, I wrote "Te Gusta la Mantequilla" (You like Butter) as my answer for every question. This resulted in the teacher accusing me of insulting her, and me getting placed in in-school suspension.
