Slightly OT, but I once asked an Irishman whether they had an expression for
"manana" (sorry can't be bothered to figure out how to put in the ~) and he
reckoned they didn't have any way of expressing quite that much urgency.


My brother-in-law, a Texas Mexican whose family was legal before there
_was_ a Texas, USA, told me manana does not mean "tomorrow:" It means:
"Not today, probably not tomorrow, maybe sometime after that."
