Anyways I had microwavable hot pockets last nite. I've had a bacterial infection before, so I'm too afraid to eat anything homemade.
Much like the Spanish for 'faggot': marico or maricón. In whatever context you use it, it's pretty crude to use in polite company, so it's not unusual to disguise the word into the similar sounding mariscos (shellfish) or mariposa (butterfly).

Not far from my younger brother's house in Las Vegas, there's a Mexican restaurant that proudly boasts that it is "La Casa del Marisco Fresco" ("The Home of Fresh Shellfish"), but if you let your mind wander into the gutter, it doesn't take long to corrupt it into "La Casa del Marico Fresco" ("Home of the Fresh Faggot").

Makes you wonder what's going on in there...
