Órale, this is the the last episode focused on Caló words that are related to dances in the Southside. For the rest of the summer, the focus will turn to conversations carried out entirely in Caló. Meanwhile, the feature of this episode is pichonear. In modern Spanish, pichon means pigeon. In Caló, it means to kiss. When a couple is kissing, it’s said they are pichoneando, which happens a lot in the dances in the Southside.

This is wango
Órale, the Caló word of this week is wango. It’s an adjective that means loose fitting, riven or reamed. It comes from the Spanish word for unsteady or clumsy, ñango. Wango can attach as much to a person as to a thing or situation. Somebody is wango if they prove too easy an opponent. A hat is wango if it’s too big on your head. A crowd or game is wango if it’s leaderless.
