Lindo encontrar un compatriota dandole a la güevpebeene!#6: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 6, 2009
Por que canejo?
A poco son los dos de Uds. Argentinos? Buscó Teresa que canejo es una tienda que vende mate.#7: Claudia (clau_bolson) on Sep 6, 2009
"Canejo" is an interjection, like a curse, something like "damn it", used by an argentinian cartoon character called Patoruzu who was an indian. I think the word was used to avoid the use of another one considered a "bad word".#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Sep 6, 2009
A curse word doesn't make much sense in the context of this puzzle. Perhaps Emiliano will explain the title? Por favor?#9: Claudia (clau_bolson) on Sep 9, 2009
Well, it's not a *curse*, it's more an interjection, as in "fuerza, canejo!!!" (go, go, go!) or "vamos todavía, canejo!!!". (a happy exclamation when something is accomplished - we talk this way, sorry...)#10: Jane Doe (telly) on Feb 2, 2010 [SPOILER]
My guess is that Emiliano thought: most typical argentinian beverage - typical argentinian word.

#9 So, not so much "Damn it!" as "DAYum!".
