105 diablo
(Sp. model spelled same [djáßlo] < Late Latin diabolum 'he who slanders or causes discord')Carlisle: 1925. An exclamation meaning 'the devil!' Bentley says that it is often preceded by qué 'what a.' Diablo is also included in place names, such as Mount Diablo in northern California. The DRAE references diablo as 'devil.' It also glosses ¡ diablo! as an exclamation expressing surprise, admiration, disbelief, or disgust and ¡ qué diablos! as an expression of admiration or impatience. No doubt the borderlands cowhands learned such expressions from the vaqueros. -
