NSFW explanationIn Spain, "coger" is "to take", and "pistola" is "pistol/gun". In Argentina/Uruguay, "coger" is slang/vulgarism for "to have sexual intercourse [with]", while "pistola" is also slang for penis.

So the common Portuguese expression to tell somebody one's going to stand on a queue - "vou para a bicha" (literally "I'm going to the queue") - has a whole different meaning for Brasilians. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago* There's a similar double entendre in Ar/Uy. "Cola" is both "queue" and "tail/butt". Now the common expression is "haceme la cola", which could be taken as "do (stand in) the queue" or "do my butt" permalink fedilink source parent
