    Give it another year and when they press 2 they’ll get an angry voice yelling at them in English that “'MURICA IS AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRY AND ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE!! LEARN A REAL LANGUAGE OR GET OUT, LOSER!!”

        Erm, I’ve always heard it used pejoratively to describe “broken” English-Spanish, not “blended”. 🙇🏽‍♂️
