Lunfardo is a jargon of about 5,000 words that emerged among the lower classes in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the second half of the 19th century. The slang first grew out of cocoliche, a pidgin used by immigrants during the first wave of immigration to Argentina. The Argentine Creole was born out of a need to communicate among people who had different regional dialects of their respective languages, mostly Spanish and Italian. And this is the inspiration for Lunfa Vermouth’s name.
