Etymology
editCarajillo is diminutive of carajo, which means penis.[1] Libido (talk) 00:18, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
Since when carajo means penis? that's a problem with content that anybody can edit; in particular people looking for attention and protagonism. The literal meaning of carajo is the ship's crow nest, which normally would be seen as a punishment (since people there would be exposed to sun, dehydration, isolation and the effect of the ship movement would be more noticeable). In colloquial speech it would be an equivalent of 'hell', which may mean something undesriable, but not profanity, so 'mandar al carajo' is more or less the same to 'go to hell'
- According to caralho, since the 10th century. --Error (talk) 18:42, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Is there are source for the supposed etymology, where the name originally comes from "corajillo"? The RAE just says it comes from "carajo." [1] Parlorturkey (talk) 04:29, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
