This comic actually made me realize how much Spanish a lot of Americans end up using in casual conversations -- most are by no means bilingual, but a lot Americans will know and use phrases like:
Hola.
Adiós amigos.
Mi casa es su casa
Mano a mano
No problemo. (Which should be "No hay problema," but still.)
Dime.
(Lo) que sera sera.
Eso si que es.
No comprende
No hablo inglés/español.
Hasta la vista.
Yo quiero Taco Bell.
Phineas and Ferb had Dr. Doofenshmirtz say, "I can't fight a teenage girl. It's so... ¿Como se dice 'awkward'?"
In the Nostalgia Critic's review of Clockstoppers, he starts laughing and says, "Tengo preguntas" (I have questions) at one of the more ridiculous scenes in the movie.
Again, these people aren't bilingual by a long shot, but Spanish had seeped into our culture, even if it's only a minuscule amount.
