Vergara wanted to quiz Fallon on some Colombian slang, resulting in some hilarious moments. 

"Yeah, some stupid damn game," said Vergara when Fallon relayed to the audience that she's a frequent guest on the show and tends to play a game every time she comes. "Or some American game that I don't know how to play," she said.

Vergara revealed she didn't want to "go through the same situation," so she came up with a game of her own to even the tables., The game is simple, with her quizzing Fallon on some Colombian phrases and slang, and with him guessing the meaning of them.

"The first one is 'Guayabo,'" she said, revealing that Fallon could choose from one of two options: "a very bad hangover" or "a very sexy man." 

"What is it? You're gonna lose," she said. Fallon did ultimately lose that round, but won the two following ones, guessing the meanings of the expressions 'Que mamera' and 'cuchibarbie.'

How Vergara's son helps her order food

Earlier on in the interview, Vergara revealed that her son Manolo is tasked with the very annoying duty of ordering delivery for her every time they're not together. 

"He wants to kill me because sometimes he's like, in Europe, or in a nightclub," she said with a laugh. "I'm like 'Manolo, I want an empanada from...' He orders it from me. I'm not very good with technology." 

Fallon seemed shocked by Vergara's response and praised Manolo's commitment to helping his mom out. "What a great son!" he said. 

"He's amazing," agreed Vergara.
