      Picante was borrowed directly from the french word piquant but came to mean spicy hot in spanish. The spelling was changed to preserve the pronunciation and the e was added to make it a proper spanish adjective. Piquant derives from the same root as pike (ie something sharp).

Instead of opening the trunk and getting the spare tire out, he sprinkles just a few drops of his hot oil mixture on the flat tire. That's when a ray of sunshine streeks down and high lights the car.

      You know the Karen meme is pretty misogynistic. I dont care how socially acceptable it is to trash on middle aged white women-- having worked retail there are just as many 'karens' as hostile, let-me-talk-to-your manager men, and people of all races. Wasn't just limited to 'Karens'. But It's getting so cringy when people call other people Karens all the time to make a 'clever' or 'funny' point cuz they have no other way to make a joke. It's as cringy as the 'bye felicia' or baby fist pump 'yes!' meme my parents send around. *eyeroll*
