My grandmother used to say that she'd pulled a boner when she was talking about a mistake she made. It made me cringe every time.

Some sayings that translate in a weird way from Spanish:
"I was just checking the temperature of the tamales" is a way of saying "I was just testing you".
This one seems less common but one family member says that "the tortilla has turned" meaning something similar to "the tables have turned"

OMG. I'm stealing that. I'll use any excuse I can get to say the word "hooker".

My favorite one was "It takes ten 'ata boys' to equal one 'aw shit' "
