Lunfardo and Brothels

[Whiskas]

If there were enough people interested I could open a thread on the history of brothels or mongering in BA. But I would need enough people interested. I get tired of sitting at home talking to myself. That would include a full dictionary of terms both historic and modern.

That would be most interesting. Count me in! Thanks for the kind offer.

I would be very interested. Even when I am not in BsAs I look at this site every day.

Thanks for offering. I hope that there is sufficient interest.

Very interesting if you have any interest in the History of The Tango and the Slang used in Tango and in the Brothels. The Lunfardo having originated in Prison by the convicts so the guards could not understand them. Used from about 1880 to 1950 .

Many words have survived and are widely used today.
