7 buscadero

(Sp. model spelled same [buskaSéro] < buscar 'to seek' (of uncertain origin) and the Spanish suffix - dero; loosely, 'seeker, searcher')

According to Adams and Blevins, this term originally referred to a lawman with a gun, and later to any gunman. It may have originally referred to a 'bounty hunter,' although this cannot be confirmed and the modern Spanish equivalent is cazarrecompensas. Spanish sources do not reference this term, although they do reference the root and suffix separately. The closest Spanish word is buscador, which means 'searcher' or 'seeker,' but does not denote a lawman or gunman.

M (abrev de martes)

Tues;

11-M = 11 March 2004, date of the bombing of four Madrid commuter trains by Al-Quaeda-inspired terrorists

11-M

The al-Qaeda-inspired bombings in Madrid on the morning of 11 March 2004 destroyed several train lines and killed almost 200 people. This is the bloodiest terrorist atrocity in recent Spanish history, and has consequently become a significant point of reference – it is commonly referred to as 11-M, denoting the day and month when it occurred. This use of a figure followed by the initial of a month is used as a form of shorthand for a number of significant dates. Thus 23-F signifies the attempted coup in the parliament building in Madrid on 23 February 1981, and 20-N refers to the date of Franco's death – 20 November 1975. The Spanish equivalent of “9-11” to refer to the attack on the World Trade Center in New York in 2001 is 11-S.

M (abrev de martes)

Tues;

11-M = 11 March 2004, date of the bombing of four Madrid commuter trains by Al-Quaeda-inspired terrorists

11-M

The al-Qaeda-inspired bombings in Madrid on the morning of 11 March 2004 destroyed several train lines and killed almost 200 people. This is the bloodiest terrorist atrocity in recent Spanish history, and has consequently become a significant point of reference – it is commonly referred to as 11-M, denoting the day and month when it occurred. This use of a figure followed by the initial of a month is used as a form of shorthand for a number of significant dates. Thus 23-F signifies the attempted coup in the parliament building in Madrid on 23 February 1981, and 20-N refers to the date of Franco's death – 20 November 1975. The Spanish equivalent of “9-11” to refer to the attack on the World Trade Center in New York in 2001 is 11-S.

11 brasada

( brazada [brasáða], apparently a combination of brazo 'arm' < Latin brachium 'arm' and -ada, a Spanish derivational suffix; in this case, it may mean accumulation of arms or tree branches, or it may refer to a measure of the amount of firewood or brush that can be carried in both arms). Texas: 1929. A region characterized by dense undergrowth, known as brush country. West Texas features such vegetation; the cattle that graze in such areas are remarkably well-adapted to the rugged terrain. Southwestern sources give a variety of possible etymologies for this word, since no Spanish dictionary contains a similar definition. The VCN and VS reference brazada as a unit of measurement roughly equivalent to that which can be carried in one's open arms. The DRAE includes both brazada and brazado as a measurement for the amount of firewood, sticks, grass, or straw that can be carried in a person's open arms. Blevins's theory that it derives from Spanish bruzada 'brush' (for scrubbing and cleaning), is doubtful. It is more likely, as Bentley and Adams suggest, that the term somehow derives from the Spanish brazo, meaning arm or tree branch.

Alternate form: brazada.

12 cahon

( cajón [kaxón] < caja 'box' < Latin capsa via Catalan caixa or Occitan caissa plus augmentative suffix -ón; literally, large box, trunk)

1) According to Clark, "a box canyon or a narrow basin of land nearly surrounded by steep sides." It is likely that the English equivalent is a calque from this Spanish term. The DRAE indicates that, especially in Chile, cajón may refer to a long canyon with an arroyo or river at its base. No Spanish source consulted provides a meaning for this term exactly like the one used in the Southwest, but Santamaría cites Beaumont, who uses cajón as a synonym for cañón.

2) Clark: 1860s. "A boxlike or squarish building constructed of adobe." Clark also notes that this term is frequently used in place names in the Southwest. Spanish sources do not reference this meaning.
