Explanation:
Ni qué decir de la creación ingeniosa de verbos con todas sus espontáneas conjugaciones y derivaciones como "camellar" que significa trabajar y viene de "camello" (trabajo); "gallinacear" que traducido en colombiano quiere decir coquetear y procede de "gallinazo" (mujeriego); "patrasiar" (retroceder)
