    Oh my God, yeah, that’s a latin American thing. When I lived in Honduras, I knew the game was up when I was trying to stumblefuck my way through a conversation and somebody gave me the big grin and enthusiastic nod.

      I think of it as them being polite. Like the guy at the car rental in The Mexican. All smiles and friendly tone while thinking “you stupid, stupid American”.

      For clarify, that’s the Brad Pitt movie, and the scene is the “Do you have anything more…authentic?” “How about an El Camino?”
