Salvadoran humor often revolves around local expressions and cultural quirks. A typical Salvadoran joke goes: “¿Por qué los salvadoreños no pueden ser vampiros? Porque les gusta el ajo.” (Why can’t Salvadorans be vampires? Because they love garlic.) This plays on the popularity of garlic in Salvadoran cuisine. Another common joke is: “¿Cómo se dice ‘siesta’ en salvadoreño? Voy a ir a ‘planchar oreja’.” (How do you say ‘siesta’ in Salvadoran Spanish? I’m going to ‘iron my ear’.) This showcases the unique Salvadoran slang for taking a nap.
