There's an important city in South Brazil called PELOTAS, which means balls, the funny thing is that in Spanish, the phrase "estamos en pelotas" means "we are in balls", equivalent to ... " we are absolutely naked". So, polite tourist refuse to say what city they are in. Others like me, enjoy to repeat it.
