When I was in Mexico last spring, much less semi-fluent then I am now, living with a Mexican family of 6 plus two other boarders, none of whom spoke English, I came into the house on a hot day. I always rode my mountain bike back and forth into town, and coming back was uphill all the way. As in, 12 minutes into town, 45 minutes coming back from town. So I was really hot. The grandmother, putting some cucumber juice (delicious) in front of me, asked, "Mira Jeremias, has de estar agostado" (Jeremy, you must be exhausted), and I said, "Agostado no, pero estoy muy caliente." At which point she almost split her sides laughing. Basically, I had just said I had the hots for somebody, and there was no one else in the room except us! LOL
