[NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to give offense. Which is the whole & compleat & total & entire point of insult & invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]

SPANISH:  ¿Dónde esta el telo?    ‡

    

‡)   “Where’s the [nearest Love] Hotel?”...  NOTE: “Telo” —  in Argentina’s equivalent to the French street argot called Verlan — refers to Buenos Aires’ version of Japanese love hotels: 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.  But with the current global quarantining, every abode is a telo, love, or no love...
