I recently learned that la concha de la lora originates in old slang in which lora was commonly used to refer to prostitutes. It makes sense. I didn't think it really applied to birds ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Interesting, I didn't know that! That usage of lora was completely lost. Being an old guy, I sometimes wonder when I'm writing some slang if the younglings will understand it. Although lunfardo should stay pretty stable as a kind of side-language, no?

Probably. Some things get resignified over time (e.g. quilombo, mina)
