You rabbits!
My poor ex-husband tried very hard to learn enough kitchen Spanish to work well with the guys at the hotel kitchen. As a Spanish teacher, I did what I could to help with his vocabulary and the inevitable vulgarisms when he asked about them after work. Once, he was having one of those days when nothing went right and knew they were laughing at him in Spanish to one another. At the end of the day, he finally turned to the giggling bunch in the elevator and called them a bunch of conejos. They went into absolute seizures of laughter and a couple of them actually hit the floor with delight. He arrived home, slammed the door and said, 'What does CONEJOS mean, anyway?!' I knew in an instant what had happened and I, too, hit the floor laughing. He had really intended to call them pendejos, a multi-purpose insult not uncommon in the workplace.
