I open this topic for linguistic curiosity, do not think the issue for more.
I remember when I was cash, there were a number of words with or unintentionally appeared frequently in the everyday speech of people of a site. I avoided using them because I was not going to take that speech patterns or accents, especially when talk like denotes a linguistic and mental impoverishment. I am not now a term "official" or "classified" as the word 'whistle', but I imagine others that sprang up spontaneously as a result of living in a closed environment - and why not say, of people at social gatherings or in food talk and talk again of the same issues with a recurrence paranoid in some cases: apostolate, work, that if this boy is nice, if the other gets good marks, meditation, the paddle game, and so on. -

I remember at that time I could enumerate a list of a few words. I suppose that those terms or idioms were indicative of a center, or a city. They were painted to be very local. So this is a good place to discuss them and see if they were really as local.

Right now I only remember a word that I did not like by the way: "try". (as in the phrase "... Yes, John is going through the center X, it is so and so".

The use of the word "deal" was also very common in the center that was going.

I remember one was talking terturlia-how non-proselytizing, and he was talking about was a small slip in saying (in reference to a guy from San Rafael) that "so and so is being treated" (instead of saying "to fulanito are treating, "meaning thereby that the boy in question came to circles and other geometric nonsense).

Well, that, by saying "so and so is in treatment," he answered, "They're giving pills, or what?".

First Descojonado we all laugh, but when the director put sphinx face, be a deathly silence fell, and someone with "good spirit" changed the subject and continued the chat.

I remember the use of Spanish words that most South Americans do not say anything. On Saturday asked if I would come to "work. I wondered if I would have to learn up to embroider.
Fulanita also said to have "good looking" to indicate that we put smile of San Rafael. If the paint was not good, the priest in confession wondered why you brought that girl so ugly? Without words but true.
With regard to the term "treat" (widely used), I would add the "abuse", which while not widely used, was widely practiced. Better not to remember...

hi all!
Activity is good to get back to some normalcy,

This topic is very similar to "fracecillas" that was there, well, that I am from Guatemala and in the center to which I was attached had a few words very emphasized that over time I realized he toured several centers .

good apart from some have mentioned that are univerasles (beep, treat) are the words that say "the house", for example here was "buenisimo" for everything!

others had so good as this Patoja so good "" is rebuena "

and so,,, always with their labels

greetings

When I started going for a center, I spoke about the "domestic employees" and I thought they were talking about a nursing home or orphans ... I did not understand.
Another phrase was "all that ...." to put their cash in all conversations, or "embedded" when someone hooked up with "work "...
Besitos!!!!
