Fabrics and Deposits

This morning I was in Barracas with my Spanglish-speaking husband. After we left Easy (lately our second home), I was commenting on some of the buildings and he said, "Yeah there are lots of fabrics and deposits." He laughed. And then he said, "Cómo se dice depósito?"

And of course, he was talking about this kind of depósito: warehouse in English:


And this kind of fábrica: factory in English:


Deposit and fabric also have meanings, of course.

Deposit usually referring to a bank deposit and fabric referring to what you make clothes out of (tela, género)
