In Bogotá is a sector of Bosa, called Iceland and is popularly called Bosalandia (with s). By extension it is said so to the whole town of Bosa, Bosalandia. Currently, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the widespread use of bottle caps, it has begun to be called Bozalandia with z, referring to the bottle cap as a muzzle. Paradoxically, it is an area of high contagion.

Another neologism invented by the deniers, in this case to ridicule the massive use of raincoats in some region, comparing them to muzzles. It appeared during the covid-19 pandemic, when in many cities it became mandatory to cover your mouth and nose in public places. See suffix -landia ( "place , region" ) .

BOZALANDIA in Colombia: in the commune of Bosa, Bogota there is a neighborhood called Iceland, which is named as Bosa Iceland, and can be called Bosalandia or Bozalandia. The same goes for the Bosa Iceland square. In Chile: the architect Fernando Boza has developed the urbanization of much of a sector of the Metropolitan Region called Lo Boza, by the colonial estate of Santa Teresa de Lo Boza, where Manuel Robles was born, author of the lyrics of the first national song and the philanthropist Matías Cousiño, and which covers part of three large communes of Santiago: Quilicura, Pudahuel and Renca, all close to Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. I haven't heard the area named with that nickname, but it would be very appropriate to call it a residential area of thousands of houses.
