EDITED: Literally, yes. Metaphorically, no; but equally shock sensitive. Doug

Actually, I have a story on this. My wife and I were were travelling in Mexico in 1976. She is a honey blonde with Scandanavian features, much admired and whistled at by the Mexican men. The usage of Spanish varies greatly throughout Mexico (actually, I found the regional differences very refreshing) and we got to asking for "Huevos" in the markets. In southern Mexico, eggs are translated as "blancitos" (little white ones), and "Huevos" are the other thing. So, there we are in a small market in Oaxaca, and she says to the vendor, "Tienez Huevos?". He straightens, throws his chest out and in and in his best gravelly voice replies, "Si, Senorita." Ah, travel broadens the soul. CD
