 It
wasn't until March or so of 2007 that I discovered Pancho's Restaurant
in the Habitat neighborhood. It's one of the best at making
Mexican food, of which I am a big fan. It has become my go-to
to-go fast food joint of choice. Also, it gets robbed a lot.
Anyway, what I want to draw your attention to
is their sign, at left. It's an expensive-looking sign. You'll
notice that it's entirely in perfectly plain English. So, it's hard not to wonder
what is meant by "SOFT MEDIN DRINK."
Is MEDIN a brand
name that comes in alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions like hard and
soft cider?
I just had to ask the cashier what "medin" meant. She explained
-- with a look that suggested she thought I was a bit slow -- that
"medin" is the English word
for the size between a small
and a large. Estúpido me. |
