Mr. Manana

In Spanish-speaking countries, the most frequently used word is “mañana”, which literally means “tomorrow”. And it's not just tomorrow. Not literally, it can be translated as “later”, “eventually”, or “never”. It has become more than a word, but a characteristic of a whole huge ethnic group of people living in Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Central and South America, etc. The cult of the family and children. Sitting at the table, drinking wine, discussing news and football with neighbors. Siesta is a must. In the morning, you go out, drink coffee, read a newspaper, hear all the news, now it's time to go home and sleep. Or gossip in restaurants. And everywhere, you hear “mañana”. Everything is put away for later, now’s not the time.
