"Ense" is a Spanish-speaker's pronunciation of "ants," and Ensenada means it doesn't have any.

Look's like this thread is turning into a Neologism competition. Like the one from the Washington Post. I Like this kind of play on words

Indians. But, as usual, some Eurotrash took the credit. In this case Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, a Portuguese captain sailing under a Spanish flag.
Closest I could come was "Enseñar"- to teach or to show. So "Teach nothing" or "Show nothing". Neither seems very accurate. As for the former, the
local gendarmes are quite happy to teach gringos the consequences of running non-existent stop signs and as for the latter, well it depends on which
establishments one frequents...
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Ahhhhhhhhh hahaa
"Jalapeno, Jalapeno, Jalapeno, Jalapeno."
I've discovered a wonderful new philosophy that has
raised my consciousness as well as my cholesterol.
It's called Tex-Mexistentialism.
It all started with the philosopher Juan-Paul Salsa, who wrote, "To Bean, or Nacho to Bean, that is the Queso."
He was followed by his great disciple, Descarta Blanca, who said, "I Pinto, therefore, Cayenne."
Some trace it to ancient Grease, where the great thinker Aristortilla wrote the book Plata's RePulpo.
Meanwhile, over in ancient India, they believed in Chili con Karma - that what Casa round, Carne's around.
And back in the Holy Land, The prophet Masa brought The Ten Comidas:
"Thou Salt not Tequila."
"Honor Tamale and thy Papaya."
"Blessed are the Migas, for they shall Ranchero the Burps."
"Give a man an Enchilada, he'll Taco Mole."
"Arroz is Arroz by Flameada name."
"In the Picante, Guisada Cerveza'd the Hongas and the Verde.
And he saw that it was Food."
I'd like to close by reciting The Lard's Prayer:
"Our Fajita, who art in Huevos, Pollo'd be Muy Bueno.
Thy Corona come, thy Chili be Con, on Cuervo it is El Jefe.
Forgive us our Tres Amigos, as we forgive those who Seis Salsas against us.
Lettuce not into Tomatillo, but Nuevo us from Fritos.
For thine is the Gringo, the Agua and the Chorizo.
In the name of the Flauta, and of the Flan, and of the Frijole ghost.
A-Menudo."

Thanks for all the kind words folks, but I can't take credit for writing it - only telling it. I don't remember where I found this, but years ago I
saw it, or somebody sent it to me, and I saved it. From time to time when I need a great laugh I pull it up and read it out loud! Nobody knows who
the author is so go ahead .... it still cracks me up after all these years!
A-menudo!

Edit.... hey, I found a link regarding this...

Being French I should be happy that you give credit to Juan-Paul Salsa for Tex-Mexistentialism, but the quote really is from Sh'expire - who is surely
called that way because he must have died upon discovering existentialism before Juan-Paul....
Love the Baja humour on this site!
