WTF does "entonces" mean? Seems like I never hear a sentence in spanish w/o that.

What the hell does that even mean?

Something along the lines of "It's not a big deal, but..."? My grasp of Mexican Spanish colloquialisms is poor.

It seems the word "but" gives you license to be an ass.

In the eyes of the speaker, perhaps.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Actually, I was just being an angry Mexican. You're right. That's exactly what it means. They can say something like, "I don't mean it in a big deal sort of way, but... I hated you since day one."

I love it when people start a joke with, 'Stop me if you've heard this...'.

Two words into the joke, I hold up my hand and say, 'Stop!' and they go all pissy.
