One evening, when I had nothing going on, I went out to this bar - TopicsExpress



          

One evening, when I had nothing going on, I went out to this bar not far from where I lived in Madrid and by mistake asked for gin instead of ginger ale. For some crazy reason the word ginebra (or as I thought it was at the time giniebra) flew out of my mouth when the bartender asked me what I wanted. He gave me this look of shock and pointed to the big bottle of spirits behind him. I explained to him that I wanted ginger ale and he replied, Aaaahhhhhhhh, you should have asked for ginger. How was I supposed to know that it was that easy... Here I was looking for a real Spanish word when the word ginger sufficed. :)
