1º_ The 'palo brasil' is the common name of the tree Caesalpinia echinata, which is found in America and that the Europeans baptized like this because its wood is "red as ember" . From it is extracted a red tincture called brazilina. 2º_ The Federative Republic of Brazil is a South American country, the largest in the subcontinent. Its name comes from the previous tree, in other times abundant on its Atlantic coasts.
In addition to the various geographical names, it is also the language spoken on the island of Kola (Arú Archipelago, Indonesia); and a way to call the cola nut (Cola acuminata), which comes from its name in African mandinga k'ola and is the origin of so many brands of beverages mentioned here.

It is a voice in English that is much within advertising in Spanish (often adapted to the spelling of the language as 'ecofriendly'). It is a reduction of ecologically friendly, and since 'ecological' became a regulated quality label awarded by control bodies (as in the EU) they use it on products that cannot reach that category, but still have to be sold to ecosensitive buyers without the risk of fines or penalties for "misleading advertising" , even if it is still an eco-bleaching .
Beyond numerary, esoteric meanings and "angle-shaped fabric tears", in lunfardo 'seven' is used to name the "ass". A believable etymology is brought by the trick game, which uses a Spanish deck and one of the luckiest hauls is the one known as "the big seven" (sign with a half smile to the right) which is when you play the seven of swords. Very few cards can beat you, and from here the "have the ass (luck) to play that card" is associated with the word buttocks, which is the original meaning of 'ass'. Another etymology with commonalities comes from the Neapolitan smorphy, where dreams about objects and situations are associated with numbers to bet on lottery games. There the 7 is "the jar" , which in some of its meanings is also "good luck" , the same as "have ass" . See taba , the big seven! , bad milk .
It is colloquially said of a 'wedge' , a 'small piece that fits into another and serves to hold or fix a third' . They have the same figurative meaning as "contact (social, labor), influence or irregular help to participate in a situation without the necessary merits or resources". By extension, any small mechanical part of which the technical name is unknown. Surely the name comes from a derogatory pito . See pendorcho, pirulo, lever (figuratively).
It has many meanings -even as a nickname-, associated with the somewhat nice pronunciation that it has in Spanish. It comes from the Latin pirulus ("perita, pear-shaped") , which ended in round vessels with a high neck, tops, cone-shaped candies, any small elongated piece, and the inevitable sexual comparisons with a penis. It is possible that the latter comes as meaning for the intervening years, as is supposed to have happened in 'cucumber'. See perol, lollipop, pituto, pendorcho.
It is called the space between the entrance door of a house and the cancel door that gives access to the interior. It is usually a corridor, although the name includes the hall, the foyer, the antechamber, or any covered space immediately at the entrance. It has its origin in the Arabic 1571; 1587; 1591; 1608; 1575; 1606; 1577; ( Astuana "pillar , column" ), since in its Spanish architecture the hallway was open and communicated with the courtyard of the columns; that is why even in some places the hallway is the same access gate.
