| Clarification request(s) and responseYaotl Altan: 7:06pm Jan 1, 2008: We need much...but much more context.
Deborah Lockett: 8:41pm Jan 1, 2008: I support Gary's explanation, and I also think there may be some journalistic device at work (a near-miss play on words), because to me the expression looks just like "carteras o talonarios" (wallets or checkbooks).
