Subject: RE: ADD/Origins: Bangidero / The Gals of Chile
A good Spanish dictionary will reveal plenty of ridiculous possibilities. Try "gray and blue." And don't overlook place names. Hugill says Valparaiso was derided as "Wallop-me-ass[sic]-with-a-razor," not a phrase that would have occurred to me. Interestingly, it can be sung in place of of "We'll dance and all drink pisco!"
