Hi everyone,

Found on the Internet.

I Found This Funny 537135_10151482000468465_253206296_n

There's an ambiguity with "short" which can mean both -1-"short of" (not enough employees) and -2-small height. So someone responds with the second alternative of the meaning to the 1st message with the 1st meaning. Funny, no?

However, I don't know yet what a "taco" is... it's a Mexican dish but???
I'll investigate but I guess it might be a taxi here. Does anyone know?

•used when referring to the genitalia of an attractive woman.

•A taco is a "that guy" - one who is saying, doing, or wearing the wrong gear. you don't want to hang with the taco unless you want a good laugh because more times than not he is damn annoying.
There's no way we can hang out with that taco tonight!

Hi Gerard !
I wonder if in that sentence, a taco is not a taco bell which is an American chain of fast-food restaurants
