I don't like the word "bodega." It sounds to me like a tobacco stand in Tegucigalpa.

That's what they call them up north. Shall we also start calling liquor stores "package stores" as well? Nothing wrong with that.

But up north, the carry-outs don't carry mambo sauce, and that was problematic for me when I was living in Hartford and wanted some fried wings.

Ha, yeah, always been bodega to me. "Corner store" reminds me of people from the Midwest saying "pop" instead of "soda".
