Political jokes are called chistes in Spanish, which tends to be less politically correct about such things than English or other languages.
If a word actually contains all five Spanish vowel forms it is called a murciélago, which means bat like the flying mammal or friend of vampires.
When creating subtitles for movies and media, Spanish translations of English are considered too brash in many context. So they are not preferred.
Por favor meaning please in Spanish is not as widely used as English, at least not when being polite. Spanish speakers usually say something more like would like me to do something, rather than can you help please.
Spanish is also called Castilian, because of the Castile region of Spain. Spanish is spoken in Spain, Mexico and South America with this same root language form.
