The word "servilleta" also means eating in someone else's home, as a guest, of course.

I hardly ever hear anyone using it but it was a word that stuck to my mind from a few years ago.

Hola estoy con mi servilleta queriendola y abrazandola.
This sentence or phrase meaning, I'm with my grifriend cuddleing and with a lot of love.


Aquí su servilleta para servila.

Here I'm for attend you.

¿Te refieres a tu novia/esposa como "servilleta"? Hmmm. Creo que no me gusta ese uso.

A mi personalmente, claro.
