I was cleaning out some old papers when I found this from a college Spanish class I took freshman year. Keep in mind I was 18! Most of the students were sophomores and definitely under 21, though I do remember one senior in there desperately trying to finish his foreign language requirement.

I have no idea what this was for, but I think we had to answer questions after watching a video about tequila. Anyway, it’s amusing to me now.

Tequila!!!

  1. Qué es la diosa de fertilidad? (What is the goddess of fertility?)
    Malahuey

Office Lackey: “Dude, I was so crunk last night.”

Office Peon: “‘Crunk’ isn’t a word, dumbass.”

Office Lackey: “Oh, yes, it is. Look here.”

Office Peon: “Fine. Well, you’re still using it incorrectly since it still doesn’t mean crazy and drunk according to Merriam-Webster.”

Office Lackey: “Hey, it says it’s a ‘word of fluctuating meaning’, so I’m right. I was crazy and drunk, hence I was crunk.”

Boss: “Both of you shutup and get back to work!”
