Órale, the onda this week in Caló is Monitos, AKA, Monahans. When they hear that placename, many Caló-speakers hear Monohants, which sounds very foreign to them. The abbreviated, Monitos, sounds more familiar and softer, a key dictate of the dialect. All the raza knows where Monitos is. Nobody knows where Monohants is.
