remolino

remolino - cowlick

Last Saturday I learned this word while getting my bi-annual mullet. However, I'm not sure if its Chilensis or not. My hairdresser who is Argentian taught me the word. But my Chilean host mom was there and she seemed to confirm that this is what remolino means. The other meanings of remolino are whirlpool and whirlwind.

Al parecer tengo dos remolinos en la frente, uno en cada lado.

Apparently I have two cowlicks on my forehead, one on each side.
