So I'm in la ferreteria (hardware store) the other day inquiring about getting rid of fungus on concrete cement walls. The counter guy explains and then begins to rave about a product called Masamon Keelel. I'm curious to the point where I ask him to show me the product. When he shows me I exclaim, "oh, Moss and Mold Killer." When he heard the English pronunciation we both had a laugh.
A current thread got me to thinking about the many variations in language. E.g., in NYC Hispanics refer to the Lower East Side as Loisaida. What 'Dominicanization' of English expression have you come across?
