We were doing a class on 'holiday breaks'. I was asking the students what they wanted to do for their summer break. Most of them were Spanish, and most of them were actually here already for their summer break.
"In summer," one student said, "I go back Barcelona... to Barcelona. There are lovely bitches."
"Beaches," I repeated, drawing out the /i:/ and motioning towards the stretched corners of my mouth.
"Yes, bitches," he agreed.
"Haha," I laughed awkwardly. My sense of humour is crass most of the time, but for some reason I get all prudish in front of a class. And I tried again: "Beeeeeeeches."
He frowned.
"Can you tell me what it is you like about Spanish beeeeeches?" I asked him.
He replied, "They wear less clothes than English bitches."
