Usage notes

In Spain, this word is employed to refer to the Kwik-E-Mart, a fictional convenience store inside the universe of the American television series The Simpsons. This may be due to the phonetic similarity of the term to an undefined Indian language, as the owner, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, has roots in that country.
