piedra de lipe: It is another name for piedralipe ("blue mineral, from calcantite or copper sulfate"). Perhaps it has an etymology in Sur Lípez or Sud Lípez (province of the department of Potosí, Bolivia).
olla exprés: It is another name for the "pressure cooker". [Note: the definition of colleague Cayetano Peláez del Rosal is a humorous use associated with the reduced cooking time in these pots. ] See pot , express .
canguingo y patas de peces: Singular variant of "canguingos and fish legs".
a tomar por el culo: The expression "to take for ass" is more common, but in the end they are variants of the same phrase.
quecto-: It is a prefix for a value raised to the thirtieth negative power, such as 10 8315;³ 8304; . It is taken from Greek 948; 949; 954; 945; ( deka "ten" ) , and this needs two explanations : first, the 10 is because it counts groups of thousandths, three zeros for decimals, and hence '30' because three zeros for decimal (0, 000) by 10 gives 1/1000¹ 8304; , or what is the same 0 , 000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''001; and the name is modified to use a q as its symbol, which had no previous use that could be confused.
quetta-: It is a prefix for a value raised to the thirtieth power, such as 10³ 8304; . It is taken from Greek 948; 949; 954; 945; ( deka "ten" ) , and this needs two explanations: first, the 10 is because it counts groups of thousands, of three zeros, and hence the '30' because three zeros (000) by 10 gives the 10 followed by 30 zeros as it has the power of the example [note: in the case of the byte that is binary and always counts of thousands, a quettabyte does look like 2¹ 8304;]; and the name is modified to use a Q as its symbol, which had no previous use that could be confused. See quecto- .
ronto-: It is a prefix for a value raised to the twenty-seventh negative power, such as 10 8315;² 8311; . It is taken from Greek 949; 957; 957; 949; 945; ( ennéa "nine" ) , and this needs two explanations: first, the 9 is because it counts groups of thousandths, of three zeros for decimals, and hence '27' because three zeros for decimal (0, 000) by nine gives 1/1000 8315; 8313; , or what is the same 0 , 000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''000 82''001; and the name has added an r that is used as its symbol, because the e already has many other uses that could generate confusion, in addition to a /t/ which is a convention for submultiples that differentiates the pronunciation of the Ronna- multiple.
ronna-: It is a prefix for a value raised to the twenty-seventh power, such as 10² 8311; . It is taken from Greek 949; 957; 957; 949; 945; ( ennéa "nine" ), and this needs two explanations : first, the 9 is because it counts groups of thousands, of three zeros, and hence the '27' because three zeros (000) by nine gives the 10 followed by 27 zeros as in the power of the example [note: in the case of the byte that is binary and always counts of thousands, a ronnabyte does look like 2 8313;]; and the name created by metrologist Richard Brown has an R added that is used as its symbol, because the E already has many other uses that could lead to confusion. See ronto- .
micra: It is the name of a submultiple of the unit length meter, which until the late 1960s was called the micron, and is equivalent to its millionth part. That is why it is also called a micrometer, which is consistent with the rest of the multiples of the meter, but is confused with the tool. Its symbol is ? (micro), although it is sometimes replaced by the Greek letter 956; ( mi ) , which in many fonts are identical, but processors differentiate them.
koit: It is a male name of Estonian origin, and means "dawn". It is not widely used in America, where it may have other meanings, such as the Nahuatl "tree" or the Haitian Creole "coitus".
godino: Male name . It comes from the adjective Goth or Gothic.
epifanio: Epiphanius is a male given name with Greek etymology, but has a religious origin from the Christian tradition by Epiphany.
artabán: It is a male name of Persian origin, which in Spanish was translated as Artabanus, although both are used perhaps due to the influence of the story The Other Wise Man ("The Other Wise King", Henry van, 1896) which tells the story of a fourth Magi King named Artaban who arrived late to worship Jesus for doing good to his fellow men. See Artabide .
kalidou: It is a male name, common in Senegal. It is possibly a version of the Arabic 1582; 1575; 1604; 1583; (Khaled "immortal") with French influence, and perhaps with some Wolof.

alphaville: 'Alphaville' is a German synthpop band created in 1982. While there was a Spanish band with the same name since 1980, it does not seem to have been plagiarism but both were inspired by the French film Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (known in Spanish as "Lemmy contra Alphaville" or simply "Alphaville", Jean-Luc Godard, 1965), where it is a city controlled by the Alpha 60 computer that also dominates the minds of its inhabitants.
the human league: 'The Human League' is the name of a synth pop band formed in the United Kingdom in 1977. It is taken from the game Starforce: Alpha Centauri set in the XXV century, where "the Human League" is a group that rebels on a distant planet to the central government of Earth.
fall out boy: 'Fall Out Boy' is the name of a pop and punk band formed in 2001 in the USA.

See ingles/fallout ("particles contaminated with radiation").
duran duran: Duran Duran is a new romantic pop band formed in the United Kingdom in 1978.

t'pau: T'Pau is an English pop band formed in 1986. Their vocalist Carol Decker had not yet decided on a name for the group and while tidying up her apartment with the television on they began to spend the Amok time chapter of the Star Trek series (original) where they name several times the Vulcan leader T'Pau. And she thought it was a good way to call her band.
