Hi everyone,
I know I'm posting late on this thread, but I only just read it.
In El Salvador and Honduras a straw is a pajilla o pajia.
Sorbete means an ice cream cone.
And a pajero is not a bad for for these countries either!  It means someone who tells a lot of lies, ie. Carlos es bien pajero! Meaning he's a big liar.
Paja is either a lie or straw, depending on the conversation. Tengo una paja en el ojo- I have a piece of straw (or dust or small particle) in my eye. Me gane la loteria! Nombre, son pajas! I won the lottery! Just kidding!!
