    Your observations are correct.

    NSFW explanation

    In Spain, “coger” is “to take”, and “pistola” is “pistol/gun”.

    In Argentina/Uruguay, “coger” is slang/vulgarism for “to have sexual intercourse [with]”, while “pistola” is also slang for penis. Literally “fuck that cock” or “have sex with that penis”

      OK but in South America and Mexico, literally everything also means clock or duck.

        You’ll be glad pleased to hear that “concha” (“shell/conch”)…

        NSFW

        …is also a very vulgar form of calling the female genitals (akin to “cunt”)

        A common insult in Ar/Uy when you are really pissed off is “la concha de tu madre” (“your mother’s conch/cunt”)

      Ah, so it’s kinda like “smoke a fag” in English / English (simplified)
