The name may come from the previous one, but as many inns also offered a room with a bed for the night, it is likely that the name comes from the French maison (inn "hearth, house"). 3º_ In physics it is a type of subatomic particle. Its name is taken from the Greek 956; 949; 963; 959; 962; ( mesos "in the middle" ) , because it was supposed to be responsible for the force that bound the proton to the neutron.

While this syndrome can occur in women, it is not as common, and applies especially to the male who considers his occasional lovers as trophies. The name was taken from the play Don Juan Tenorio (José Zorrilla, 1844) in which the main character clearly demonstrates this behavior. It is based on another character also called Don Juan, by Tirso de Molina, later replicated in many other works of universal literature.

dequeruza: It is a lunfardo adverb for something that must be done "carefully, suspiciously, sneakily". The origin seems to be a Spanglish for take care (teik ker "be careful") that ended in dequera, a word that was soon replaced by its festive version 'dequeruza', with the derogatory suffix '-uza' which is sometimes confused with '-usa'. See partuza .
buchón: In lunfardo it is used as an ortiba ("pimp, snitch"), which tells what should be hidden.

cafón: It is a word that lunfardo took from the southern vulgar Italian cafone ("rude, person enough, with little urban culture"), with the same meaning that was expanded as an adjective to anything rudimentary, basic and tantrum. There is no agreement on its etymology, but it most likely comes from the verb digare with the suffix -one for deverbals that reinforce the action, in this case to name the sapper peasants. [Note: There is a more extensive definition in error 10060;capon. ] See cafonacho .
anda la osa: It is an exclamation of astonishment and anger. There is no agreement about its origin, but surely it is a euphemism or a deformation of another phrase such as "There goes the host!" or "Go, the host!", it is even supposed that it may come from the Andalusian "ámda, la ausá alláh" ("What horror, Allah do not let evil grow!") .

romper una lanza: It is a locution that is used to "come out in defense", always of something or someone. It has its origin in medieval jousting, in tournaments where two knights faced each other with spears and on horseback in order to knock down the opponent. When it was done to save honor from an affront or to end a dispute, it was called "spear-breaking," and it could also be done on behalf of someone who was unfit to fight. Hence the current meaning, which can be extended to "face difficulties to achieve an end". See "Do not break spears with anyone".
