¡Labas Papas!

We all know that labas means hello in Lithuanian. If not, you do now. We also know that labas rhymes with papas, the Spanish word for potatoes or popes (la papa: potato, el papa: the pope). I liked to say, "Labas Labas!" to everyone who I saw. This soon became boring so I started saying, "¡Labas Papas!" I'm cool because I speak Spanglish. Now I'm REALLY cool because I speak some Spanian. I decided to try out my Spanian skills on a girl from swing dance (I'm the only non-Lithuanian). When I said, "¡Labas Papas!" to her, she coldly looked at me and asked who taught me such a word. She didn't look convinced when I told her that I was from Argentina.

Turns out papas is Lithuanian for breasts.
