Road house

A movie where two of the main characters, Wade and Dalton, are two American guys who dont speak Spanish to each other throughout the entire movie, except for some reason Wade calls Dalton mijo, and Dalton calls Wade senor. Talking to a guy who speaks Spanish and calling him senor, or him calling you senor, makes sense, but two guys who dont speak spanish to each other calling each other mijo and senor is fuckin weird.
Road house-

Wade- Let's have a beer mijo.

Dalton- Why are you talking like that?
