      I had a Mexican friend back in college and we used to joke that if you put El in front of something, it became Spanish.

      So he’d say something like, “Hey, do you want to get el pizza tonight?”

      And I’d say, “Sorry, I don’t speak Spanish.”

      (Although normally we’d do it as an inside joke when someone couldn’t understand him because of his accent.)
