I'm learning spanish now and these language differences are confusing. My (mexican) girlfriend has (more than once) told me a word she thought meant one thing that ended up being an insult pretty much everywhere but Mexico.

makes sense, a lot of non-mexican spanish speakers are prone to get offended easily by words that are obviously not an insult.
