It fell flat. I had Brazilian Portuguese in mind. It's the variety I hear around here most, so I automatically took it for generic Portuguese.

Have you heard people say "ese pecao e'taba rico"? My mother feigns annoyance and usually responds with "lo que se come es pe*s*cado no pecado." Though I imagine both (literally and figuratively) can be tasty. Anyway, us 'rolos' tend to pronounce words as they're spelled ... Is that Brazilian-Portuguese or Euro-Portuguese? I ask because my S.O. speaks Brazilian-Portuguese and jokingly chides me for sounding like a Euro-Portuguese speaker. Pocho_guey_al_norte: We say chiflado pronouncing the ‘d’.

Wouldn't it be 'chifla'o'? Carribean Spanish can be like Portuguese on my worst days. I understand your mom's agony. But it's music to my ears when hearing the 10 Cubans in Boston yukking it up at "la esquina del sabor.":http://www.elorientaldecuba.com/ Gracias, Emperatriz.

I have a friend who is Catalan and her speech is full of them. Linguists call the -ng sound "engma", which I think sounds kinda dirty.

That's an easy one! You don't have to live in Hialeah to figure that one out. The "Tony Montana" tag gave it away. "coño":http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=co%F1o&defid=837719 would have been a far better inclusion. I'm just sayin'...it still has so many non-Carribean wabs confused as to its meaning.
