I thought I was one of them and overdid it at a New Year's Eve party. I'm glad the party was at my BFF's home, and she let me crash (OK, ordered me to) in the spare bedroom. And I woke up with a crashing hangover.

What drives me crazy is all the people that say "mano y mano". Hand and hand doesn't have same connotation.

Sort of like "cajones" which means drawers, like a chest of drawers, not a part of the male anatomy which is koh-hoe-nayz.
No matter where you go, there you are.
