A gentle correction in (Spanish) that happened the other day...

...from my one (young) (skinny) (Guatemalan) coworker with the (silver) front teeth:

Him (to me, after me talking about a takeout order like I always do): "Senor, por aqui

[I look confused]

Him (again): "Senor, por aqui, no para aqui"

. . .

(I could swear that the phrasing is para aqui, but maybe I've been f*cking that up for years, and it's just that no-one ever told me.)
