Órale, the word for this episode is cantar. In proper Spanish, it means to sing. In Caló, it means to either speak truth to power, declare a deep feeling, or denounce someone in public. Depending on the circumstances, however, it can also mean to snitch or rat somebody out, as in the English slang expression, sing like a bird. Clearly in the first nuance, to cantar is an act of power or defiance. In the second, it is an act of weakness or fear. Either way, what’s invoked is a cut from an opera, where the hero le canta to the villain and the villain le canta to the hero’s enemies.

Órale, we’re going to continue with the matanza theme and feature the Caló word, stufas. It’s a contraction of the expressions “ya estuvo,” which is Spanish for “that’s enough” or “it’s done.” In Caló, it’s what you say when you’ve reached a breaking point with something that’s irritating you or when you want to report that you’ve completed an assigned task.

Órale, the featured word of this episode is levantar. It’s a verb in modern Spanish that means to pick up. In Caló, it means pick up the pace or attract sexual attention, male or female. The general image behind both is the picking up of feet. A comparable expression in English is a “pick up.” A fifty-something prances through a dance hall and turns heads, and people will say she or he still las levanta. They’ll say this because they can both pick up their feet and people are attracted to them.
