Either because he's a bit mean-spirited or he doesn't have a good sense of humor or both, my one (Guatemalan) coworker still very occasionally calls me Senora ("Ma'am").
Usually, I'm like, No, no senora, but the other month, I tried something new.
"Senor," I was like, "Tu debes estudiar mas espanol. Senor es un hombre, Senora es una mujer."
("Sir, you ought to study more Spanish -- 'Sir' is a man, 'Ma'am' is a woman.").
That made him pause and laugh, but we'll see if that little b*tch does it again.
