It amazes us that women can pour boiling-hot wax onto their upper thighs, yank out hair by the roots, and still be afraid of a spider, si man...

It amazes me that my husband isn't afraid of spiders but would run screaming from a tweezer aimed at eyebrows or nose hair.

 

He's a wimp.

aaaand yes, it pretty much goes the other way around. I see it every day, girls getting big, painful rib tattoos and guys not getting even close to needles. it's funny

We mexicans drink beer with lime, tomato-clam juice, chili, tabasco and Worcestershire sauce, and call them Ojo Rojo, or cubanas. Although cubanas might not have tomato and clam juice. In some areas they're called michelladas con clamato (for the juice brand) as well. I don't know why I felt like sharing this useless piece of information. 

Also I totally had to google Worcestershire to know how it was spelled. and I totally can't pronounce it.
