Another phone conversation with my Pau

[Phone conversation with my Pau.  We are discussing his brother/my uncle's recent double bypass surgery.]

PAU: You know what they do in the open heart surgery?  They open up the chess bones, you know, what you call?

ME: The sternum?

PAU: No, not the sternum...it's the see'krong.  You know what a see'krong is?  It's a...sparerib!  They cut open the sparerib.

ME:  Pau, they're called RIBS in people.
