What does «pingacho» mean in Spanish?
- Jota dance, popular among the people of the coasts of Cantabria, although it is found in different versions throughout Spain. It is danced in pairs until the chorus, where it is incited, with a great deal of noise, to intertwine hips, buttocks and forelegs, as the song dictates.
♦ Used in: Spain
Examples of use in Spanish: "por bailar el pingacho".
"el pingacho se trata principalmente de una jota a lo pesao".
"Lo divertido del baile del pingacho es su imperfecta ejecución. Si al bailar de un lado se empujaba fuerte con la cadera al vecino, se le podía echar fuera del corro del golpe".
