"[A]n exhaustive lexicon of the kind of Puerto Rican slang most dictionaries would blanch at printing." — Insight Guides Puerto Rico
Dual Spanish-English and English-Spanish dictionary, which according to HOMOSEXUALITY: A Research Guide (1987) contains a particularly strong selection of gay slang. Gallo in the introduction writes: "Every language has its street vocabulary, and Puerto Rico's is especially rich. Like all, it reflects its geography, native foods, derogatory terms, taboos, dirty words and illegal pasttimes, but also, unlike most, its macho sensuality."
