The ⁽ᵂ⁾hoᵃrse language is #fishy—#tricky/#slippery, as if in #a_slip·stream; indeed #caballa designates a #fish rather than #horse-or-#yegua en_español—specifically #Ma·querelˡᵉ (from the Latin #macula: ‘stain’/‘spot’ … & possibly also #maquereau: ‘pimp’—http://En.Wiktionary.org/wiki/maquerel#aquerel#Old_French). https://twitter.com/youtopos/status/1628055499152261121
