I think in Latin, "res" has to do with "thing" or something real
("real" may be connected with "res," in fact...not sure). Reify,..make
more real/concrete.

The two grocery stores down the street never fail to have big sale
signs up for Lengua de Res.

I love "in the middle of beef." :)

And the reason THAT struck me so, is that my memory of "in media res" from my literary studies had me looking at my box of frozen taquitos and saying, "In the middle of beef"?
