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".

If you forgot what you were saying around my late Granny she would say;

"It must have been a lie!"

If my grandpa wanted me to get out of his way he'd say "You need to shit or get off the pot". I still use it to this day.

Growing up, my grandfather would call my cousins and I a "wampus kitty" out of affection. To this day, I still have no idea what the hell a wampus kitty is.

It's a turn on the phrase "kattywampus" which means awkward or unorganized. My gramps always had a cat he called Wampus.

Well hell, didn't even think of that. All these years and I never thought of making that connection.

Could they be a distant relative of the wampa from Star Wars?

A wampa mixed with a big cat... mother of God, that's scary as hell.
