SPANISH: Telo ‡
‡) “[Love] Hotel”...
NOTE: “Telo” is Argentina’s equivalent to Japanese love hotels, w/ rooms rented by the hour for morning or
noon or afternoon delight ; Argentina,
as Japan, has a premium
on living space... & w/ 20-somethings often still living w/ their parents, a “Telo” is preferable to the back seat of a car.
& of course clientele includes yr
garden variety adulterers & philanderers. The future of the TELO may be in
doubt, due to self-isolation, or there may
be a rennaissance of debauchery. The
Argentine slang seen here is the Spanish equivalent of the French street argot
known as Verlan....
