It can be a mistake for several words, such as piringundín ("low-category fonda"), pirigüín as a variant of pirgüín or pirhuín ("parasitic worm", "aquatic larva or tadpole"), penguin (bird), canoeing ("water sport"), . . .
Piriguin is the name of the tadpole drinks from frogs or toads that are in a puddle, in chile it is called piriguin to younger children to compare them with sperm or people of short stature
