No clue on equipata. But, way off subject, the funny part reminds me of something Maya Angelou once said; "A racist is someone who thinks names like
Lumumba and Kasavubu are funny and Fanfani and Pompidou are not."
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

For some reason I have always liked "pardoneme" said softly in passing.
I love the lilt of "Avia Bien Amigo", sweet.
I was overjoyed to learn the word "banyo", at a time of real necessity.
There is something midly conspiratorial about "simpatico", no?
Ne modo. Now there is the answer for nearly everything.
I have also stood baffled in the face of the hand flopping like a boated dorado that stands for directions like, "directo eya in la skina" as it
traces some unseen mental map in the mind of the poor person confronted by someone asking for directions to some place they have never been but feel
to proud to say they don't know.
And one of my favorites was the Cheverlet named "Nova" which could not be sold in Mexico cause "No Va" meant it wouldn't run, or "it's got no juice"
as in "It's got no Va! man" as one would describe a 56 Rambler.
Great post.

I still get an inward eighth grade giggle out of the three meanings of *pero* depending upon pronunciation. Maybe its just me.

Here's one with a beautiful meaning that I hate the "taste" of in my mouth:
Crepusculo

In my little village a dragonfly is a sigarone, a squall is a tribunada.
