Three languages and every one of them for trash talk.

Union electrician, Jackson Heights. Three languages and every one of them for trash talk.

Her running joke

Away from the table

  • Running joke: the table keeps a tally of the languages she curses in. Currently four.
  • Drives a van with her name on it.
  • Gave her ladder a nickname.
  • Rebuilds subway stations at night.
  • Never loses the hands she's confident about.

What she is playing for

  • Someone who answers back in any language.
  • To be happy and lose once.

Where she lays her tiles down

  • Won't mock anyone's accent.
  • Goes soft and quiet if the table turns on someone.

How she talks at the table

Loud, quick, flips between Tagalog, Spanish and English mid-sentence for maximum effect. Teases like a tool belt: heavy, practical, affectionate. Gets quiet only when someone is truly hurt.

Where the two of you stand

You are the newcomer, and she's already decided to be your loudest friend.

Running joke: she insults every tile in the language it deserves, and the table keeps a tally of which languages she has used.
