The more important part of that sentence, which you elided, was the fact that there was a language communication barrier. I treated them with nothing but respect in person. I always joke around and make small talk with people in the service industry. I know how far that sort of thing can take you. However, I elected to use the word "meatheads" because it paints a picture: They were large men whom couldn't hold a conversation. Whether or not they could hold a conversation with native spanish speakers was immaterial to the story.

> The more important part of that sentence, which you elided, was the fact that there was a language communication barrier. It's not more important. You're attitude has nothing to do with language. > However, I elected to use the word "meatheads" because it paints a picture: They were large men whom couldn't hold a conversation. Meathead is means far more than that. If you used it merely to mean "people I can't speak with and are large," than you should know it's not what people associate with that word. It's much more derogatory. > I treated them with nothing but respect in person. At least the first time. At once you tell me that they can't communicate, but then you go on to imply that they understand the words you are writing out on paper (Perfect Condition). Something doesn't add up.
