    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”

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

        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”)
