Big Smoke quote?


Recommended Posts

 

My first language is spanish, and I found it a little curious how big smoke knew a word like "patio"...not so common...

Patio is derived from the Spanish. I consider it fairly common in English. I think it was used mainly for the similarity to his other stereotyped Spanglish, probably more coincidence than anything that it actually is from Spanish.
