 | | Guagua, it lets you know, is an informal word for "baby" in the Andes region and a slang term for "bus" in Cuba and the Canary Islands. |
 | | For example, it's the only dictionary we reviewed that gave all the various meanings of perico, a curious word that, depending on the context and location, can mean parakeet, toupee, cocaine, milky coffee, or scrambled eggs with fried onions. |
 | | It is excellent for the spoken language and modern literature, but for the classics, I would recommend a large Spanish/Spanish dictionary, such as the large "Vox diccionario actual de la lengua espanola" by Christopher Naylor. |
