As I walked in I heard someone say, “If you could give me another scoop of sour cream that’d be amazeballs.” and that’s when I realized I had come to the wrong neighborhood.

I got into the habit of saying “guac” in college because literally nobody understood me when I said “guacamole” (with the proper Spanish pronunciation, not the bastardized Anglicized pronunciation).
Now I just don’t give a fuck and say it as it’s supposed to be said. But on the flip side, I may have also been relishing the generous helping of sour cream that came with the chicken quesadilla I ate yesterday, so....
Lol.

The “g” in “aguacate” doesn’t have a hard “g” like the hard “g” found in English words like “gorilla,” but neither is it silent as it is in the word “güero.” The tongue doesn’t form as stiff a platform or sit as low in the mouth when making a vocalized “g” in Spanish the way it does when making a hard “g” in English.
So, yes, there is a sound to the “g” in “aguacate.” It’s a loose, hard to pin down sound that’s inextricably linked to the “u” and “a” that follow it. But no, there is no “g” sound in the dish — guacamole — that you make by mashing those aguacates. That word begins with the sound of the “u” vowel, which flows quickly into the soft, open sound of the “a” vowel. It begins with “ooh-ahh” said so quickly that it essentially sounds like “wah.”

It’s like my life before I heard a girl say amazeballs in a burrito place can never compare to my life after hearing a girl say amazeballs in a burrito place.

In my previous job, I and one of the sales guys had a recurring bi-weekly lunch meeting with a guy we had placed as a consultant at a customer. There was no particular reason to have this recurring meeting other than to get assorted info about the customer from this guy since he was our employee, and to for the sales guy to expense tacos for lunch.
The place we went was not my favorite, but it was passable. It was a hipsterfied sorta-chefy Americanized Mexican place. The dude we met with ordered the same thing every single time:
Chicken quesadilla, hold everything except the chicken and the cheese, with a side of sour cream. Like basically make it as uninteresting as possible.
We also had chips and queso dip and guac before every meal and I ate too much of that crap while trying and failing to order something vaguely healthy.
Welcome to the midwest, y’all.
