Rescue Chihuahua has cutest reaction when foster mom speaks Spanish to him for the first time

Of course he did, he's a native speaker.

By Tod Perry

Monica Matute, a dog-lover who chronicles the rescues she fosters on TikTok, was having a hard time getting through to Nacho, the Chihuahua. But everything changed the moment she stopped giving him commands in English and switched to Spanish.

In a viral video with over 14 million views, Matute casually asks Nacho, "¿Qué pasó?" ("What happened?"), and his pronounced ears immediately perk up, as if to say, “You speak my language!” She then tries out a few more phrases in Spanish, which translate to "Let's go outside," "Come on," and "Want to eat?" and all of them got Nacho’s full attention.

📃 American last names are disappearing fast. These 15 names are nearly extinct.

Even the surname Bell is dwindling. Is your family name on the extinction list?

By Jacalyn Wetzel

Last names can reveal a great deal about where a person's journey began, tracing back multiple generations. It's one of the reasons people used to be very keen on having a male child to preserve the family name, therefore preserving the lineage. Until more recently, it was expected that nearly all female children would get married as young adults, adopting their husband's surname.

While women still largely take their husband's last name as their own, more women are choosing to keep their maiden names. Other women are choosing not to marry at all, avoiding the legal paperwork, and instead valuing domestic partnership. But even with slightly fewer women dropping their maiden names, MyHeritage, a global family history platform, notes that a list of surnames is near extinction. The revelation comes after the researchers for the platform reviewed the U.S. Census Bureau database.

Let’s also mention big bro filming in awe too. 🥹

👋 Why do Americans call sneaking out of a party without telling anyone the 'Irish goodbye'?

Is this really how people socialize in Ireland?

By Tod Perry

If you’re at a party in America or England and leave without telling anyone goodbye, it’s known as the “Irish goodbye” or the “Irish exit.” Perfectly executed, you leave the party without having to tell everyone, so you don't have to make an excuse for your departure or give a thousand hugs and handshakes.

Those who’ve perfected the Irish goodbye know that it’s best to drop a hint with someone 20 minutes beforehand that you plan on leaving, so when your absence is discovered, you have someone to vouch for you. Some folks who are extra sneaky will say they’re headed to the bathroom or out to their car to grab something and never return.
