pingüino
/pinˈɡwino/ · B2 · noun · m
penguin
🐧 pingüino = ping + güino, sounds like 'ping-WEE-no', a ping-pong penguin
Say it aloud: ping-GWEE-no. The 'ping' echoes ping-pong, and the ending 'wee-no' sounds like a small waddling bird's name. Students and portable air conditioners share the word because of the penguin's black-and-white formal look and its cold-loving habits.
