SAN DIEGO — Just in case anyone isn’t familiar with the argot, adding “ela” to almost any name is an affectionate way for a friend or an older relative to say “oooh, you’re such a cutey, I could pinch your cheeks, such a beautiful punim you have.” It is not recommended, however, when addressing Latin teachers or Marine Corps drill sergeants. Of course, this license plate was found by our maven in such matters, Melanie Rubin, or should we call her “Melela?”
