12/14
5 is always confusing because their meanings are so similar and I have to admit that 14 was new to me.

[dv8]

you can see what challenges i faced when working in the pharmacy

my favourite part was that when i did not know what kind of affliction plagued the client and they could not explain it due to limited vocabulary they'd have to restore to "show" rather than "tell". i cannot count the times i was presented with an ass cheek. to say nothing about feet, backs, necks and other parts of anatomy. luckily, no private parts.

Only 6. Where were patatú, sirimba and pasmo?

See #9

Y di'que ahora le dicen 'yeyo' al patatú...

 

[Xavier_Onassis]

I guessed at these. I don't recall ever hearing any of them.
Strangely, I got 7/10.
