GORILLA Anglicanism derived from the English word for the gorilla. Figuratively, in English it means bully and, in some cases, armed groups of tough and strong men, usually violent. This meaning and its spelling was incorporated into the spanish jargon, where the young so called the doorman of the discs and other restricted entrance enclosures, because they were usually men of great wingspan and corpulence. Some synonyms, words or similar expressions may be hombron, 3-body wardrobe
