What do it mean

Time by ELO

My work once sent me to Madrid. I only have some high school Spanish.

I had a cold at the time and soon ran out of cough drops. My coworker told me where I could buy some more, and what to ask for.

When I got to the store, apparently I misremembered what he told me to say. I said to the woman, “quiero caramelos de mentales.”

She looked at me confused. I tried again, slower: “caramellos…de…mentales?”

She seemed a bit alarmed. She said something in Spanish. I said “lo siento, no comprendo.”

She called over her coworker, who asked me “what are you looking for?”

I said, “cough drops.” She looked confused. “Cough…drops? What is it?” I tried “caramelos de mentales” again, no success, just confusion.

Then I remembered I had some wrappers in my pocket so I pulled one out and showed her. Suddenly they both beamed with understanding. “Ohhh! Caramelos mentolados! You were asking for ‘brain candies.’ She thought you wanted something illegal.”

I think what Prole is saying is that it shouldn’t fall to the library in the first place. The city should be responsible for finding a solution. I don’t think their comment was opposed to your actions (although I also initially interpreted it that way).

What did he do for protein though

Same. HP could stand for “heaping pile.”

Is that so? The bottom of a glass is glass. But the ocean is not the glass; it’s the water in the glass. You wouldn’t say that the bottom of the water in the glass is made of glass.

Yeah I dunno. But conservatives are convinced she’s an extreme leftist.

According to conservatives on reddit, she is “far left, even more extreme than Bernie” and that’s why she lost.

They figured out how to make a superscript 5 but can’t type “for” or “to”. Amazing

Whippersnapper! Back in my day there was only Delta!

Tilley hat for me as well. The sun and I are not really friends

Also JP, but with Jaws as a close second

In the meme-verse, I feel like “sike” is much more common (eg, “say sike right now”)
