“The Chilean accent was nothing like the Spanish spoken in my neighborhood back home in the Mission. The Chileans seemed to swallow their words, as if they were speaking around a rag stuffed in their mouths. They also sprinkled in terms that were not Spanish at all, taken from indigenous languages, I believe, and they used so many euphemisms that it was often impossible to know what the devil they were talking about.”
