[edit] Spanish meaning

Could someone check on the Spanish meaning? "Quilombo" does mean "mess" in modern Rioplatense Spanish; the meaning "brothel" is almost obsolete. There's also a verb enquilombar(se) meaning "to make/become confused". The word is a bit rude. Elsewhere, I don't know. There's no such thing as "the Spanish dialect of the Americas"; Latin American Spanish has more than a few major variants. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 14:20, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
