Confusion over 'no turns'
Having only recently arrived in BA and being more used to mongering in Asia I've been checking out the local scene and one phrase keeps popping up in discussions about massage girls. I'm hoping that someone can clarify. What does this phrase mean? Teléfono para turnos de masajes: No Disponibl.
It's also written in english as 'no turns'.
Can anyone explain
A Bastardization of the English language!

Can anyone explain[/QUOTE]I CRINGE when the locals try to translate Spanish into English!
Turno in Spanish means Session or appointment, time slot, etc.
"No Turns" is is like Tex-Mex!
El Roofo!
Lunchar!
My God!
"Telefono para turnos de masajes no disponible."
"The telephone number for massage appointments is not available."
Maybe all booked up or the answering machine is filled up.
Or they are out of business.
Is it a computer automated voice?
You say it's written?
Must be a website.
The massage parlor has failed to pay the website's monthly ad fee so the website has deleted their phone number for now!
You should read the translations on OFFICIAL government tourist signs!
I Cringe!
They try to use Britanical English but the grammatical, spelling and structural errors of the sentences are horrendous!
Come on Down!
But remember what TL says :
" We don't need no stinking massages!"
Bad massages and the worst sex!
