On Valentine’s Day in Costa Rica ten million text messages are sent (not bad for a country with a population of slightly more than four million) and the local newspapers are filled with full pages of advertisements from hundreds of people who go by their various cutesy pet names like:

• Angelito – Little angel (male)
• Bomboncita – Little sweet candy (female)
• Cachorrita – Little puppy (female)
• Chinita – Little China girl
• Enana – Little dwarf (female)
• Ensaladita – Little salad (female)
• Flaquita – Little skinny girl
• Gordita – Little fatty (female)
• Negrita – Little blacky (female)
• Papita Frita – Little French fry (female)
• Pastelito – Little dessert (female)

You’re welcome my Enana Negrita Gordita.
