In the dark ages (1952), we worked the picas in Paicines, CA. And one evening, after getting off work, we teenagers were hanging out by a fire that we would light up just about every night. Tony Lopez, who was from Jimtown (West Whittier), was hanging with us, and one of the guys pointed to a group of beer-drinking adult men, and he asked Tony, in Spanish, if the man talking was his dad, "el es tu papa?" Tony's answer was priceless. "Eso es lo que dicen," so that's what they say.
