Wait, don't you just say 'patata' (potato) like everybody else? WTF?

When I was attending at the religious school in Andalusia -founded by a Catalonian carmelite- we usually said 'treinta y tres' [thirthy three]... O:)

Just what's going on here today? That's what doctors are told to make you say to test if you have bronchitis or something.
Are you guys sure you're native Spaniards? :D

I was listening to my french lesson and I was amused to know that the french say "spaghetti" when taking a picture.
I know that the English say "cheese" and in my language, Spanish, we say "Luis".
What do you say you in your native language ?

Wait, don't you just say 'patata' (potato) like everybody else? WTF?

Edit: Oh, I see you're probably Catalan. Never thought about it before. I'll have more pictures taken next time I go there ;)
(In Catalonia, 'patata' is also used to mean that female body part).

Now that you mention that, I have to say that I have heard saying "patata" when taking pictures on TV films or series. Could be, as you say, that "Luis" is more of a regional thing.

In Brazil we say "X", which has the same sound of cheese in English, related to that, it is very common in Brazil to change cheeseburguer for X-burguer...... Cheesebacon for X-bacon.
