Gallo Chinguero &#(gallo= cock; chinguero= teaser&#) is an expression in El Salvador equivalent to &#"patsy&#". And it is derived from cock-fighting, referring to a lame cock or a young chicken&#(i.e., the &#"gallo-chinguero&#) that is thrown in the &#"palenque&#" &#(i.e., cock-fignting arena&#) for a real fighter-cock in full gear &#(i.e., with the vintage sharp, pointy steel blades affixed to the rooster&#'s spurs&#) to &#"train&#" on, that is, for the fighter-cock to kill the &#"gallo chinguero&#" as part of its training as a fighter-cock.
