Well, hello dere Ferna. Yes I was about to retract my statement about "no such word" as modela. It is indeed the 3rd person singular of the verb
modelar. Braulio's google suggestion brought up some VERY interesting sites...
*There was one called "Modela la Modelo", meaning "The model models"
As for the tele, Don Francisco is always saying "Que venga la modelo" on Sabado Interminable".

So, now it's OK to go to the classy liquor store and ask for Leon Negra?

I THOUGHT it to be pretty complete.
So, even Larousse can't make up its mind.
Is yours by chance published in Mexico? Maybe mine is following the Academia stodges...

Yep, mine (unabridged 1547 pages) was printed in Chilangolandia. (BTW, there is a Chilango Beer, although I've never tried it.) It doesn't say when,
but I got it in 2000. I picked it precisely because it claimed "generous coverage of Latin American Spanish". I do not own a DRAE and have only mild
curiosity about strictly Iberian usage, mostly just for etymological research. I have never wanted to sound like a gachupin. Unfortunately, some of
my chuntaro friends here on the border think I sound a bit like a chilango

I think it's M?-puchi not mepuchi, but you can also use puchi-m?. M? is typical BCS mostly La Paz, also used with m?-veras or just M? and puchi is
more pronunced like push? used instead of puta, like in puchi no or hijuepuchi. Or just go for it all and say me-verajelijuepuchi pariente.

...and Oso...go (again) to google.com.mx...click on p?ginas en espa?ol - search modela with an article - "una modela" or "la modela"...and then tell
me that modela isn't used in the context I described - amongst others.
No - you ain't going to find it in LaRousse - but you'll hear it in conversation all the time.

Hey guy, I agree with you.
I think they are in a contest to see who's book is bigger and badder.
Salute! Otra Mas!
Any bets on the winner?

I did exactly that and the first couple of pages of either search came up with modela as a verb or the brandname of a product on an English site,
except for one page on the "neoliberal model" regarding poverty in Peru.
But hey, if you just gotta use it as a noun, do what you like. A mi me vale ma'. If you can read the label on the bottle, we've established that
the name of the beer is NEGRA MODELO, which is what got us on this track in the first place. Someday maybe I'll find a picture of the old-style Leon
Negro from Yucatan. Meanwhile if Dave wants to look for it in a classy licor, he'll have to ask for plain Leon.
If you're by SLRC anytime soon, come by for a michelada. I've still got some MODELO ESPECIAL in the fridge. 
Well, it was the only thing on sale last week, but if you add enough Clamato it almost kills the taste.
BTW, I rarely use just google. Dogpile is much better, it pulls from google, yahoo and others at the same time.

You guys have me shell-shocked. I tuned in expecting to read about Mexican beer and ended up wearing out my spanish dictionary.
I could have sworn that this was the "General Baja Discussion" forum, not the "Spanish as a second language" forum. Did I go astray somewhere?

To give this some perspective, more folks in Baja speak Spanish than drink beer. Mmmm, wonder if that's really true...? ;>
--Larry |
Perhaps, But I'm sure that more people on this forum drink beer than speak Spanish.

This entire thread has always been about the beer if one was paying attention. Of course that may have been increasingly difficult if one were
consuming more of the latter while trying to follow the former.

Another for the list
Found a new beer in TJ today.
Potro- a porter, full bodied and slightly sweet. Made in Guanajuato. Excellent!

Dave, which store in TJ had the porter? Is the price ok? I'd plan a trip just for the porter. I just love Sierra Nevada's porter. I also like their
stout.
About Leon Negra, the last time I tried it about 2 years ago, it seemed lighter than I remembered. Maybe it'll be more widely available under Modelo.
I especially like Belekin stout, however, my sister made a trip to placencia this year and said the place is pretty much gone as far as how cool it
used to be. Sometimes I feel lucky to make it to a place before it goes, but it also makes me a bit sad. Onward and upward I guess.
