    Default What does boloqui mean?

    One of my friends said "es un bolonqui total" the other day. I have the feeling it has a negative connotation. Does anyone know what it actually means?

    I believe it means something like "a total disaster," but I might be wrong.

    un bolonqui total.

    Mira, va con "n". Hay mucho follón (España), desorden, lío...

    Mira lo que dicen aquí:

    No es una palabra conocida en España.

    Thanks crisr! Gracias exxcentrica! A mess does fit in well with the context of the conversation. I´ve heard quilombo used to describe a mess as well. I wonder if there´s any relationship between the two words?

    Bolonqui es igual a Quilombo, pero expresado al estilo "vesre". Es común en Argentina y Uruguay, consiste en cambiar el órden de las silabas, no siempre del mismo modo, para de algún modo evitar la obviedad. Hotel sería Telo, baño se convierte en ñoba, carajo en joraca, quilombo en bolonqui, uruguayo es yorugua, tango es gotán, revés es "vesre" etc... El significado de quilombo tiene matices, pero en general es como se señaló arriba, equivalente a follón, desorden, todo patas arriba, problemático, caótico etc...el término tiene origen en los quilombos, que eran lugares de refugio para los esclavos africanos donde en condiciones precarias lograban sobrevivir, libres.

    Me acabo de dar cuenta que boloqui es quilombo al revés. Los pequeños actos que hacen grandes nuestros días

    Sip, muchas palabras los argentinos las invertimos para darle un toque informal y gracioso, no sé si el resto de los Hispanohablantes lo hagan también.

    Es una costumbre de hace muchos años. No recuerdo cuando surgió y si tuvo algo que ver el lunfardo.
