("to get upset"), (lit. "Do a long one" fig. "to pretend to be thick/slow") and ("luck"). Portuguese There is a small number of words of Caló (Calão) origin and many of those are indirect loans, borrowed via Spanish. The examples generally understood by most or all speakers of Portuguese include (, "man, dude", primarily in Portugal), chavalo ("lad, young boy"), (, , generally "impact", but in this sense "sudden happiness") (, "mess"), (, , "bargain, haggled"), (, , "drunkenness"), chulé ("bad smell of feet), pirar-se ("to leave"), pirado and chalado ("crazy"). Language maintenance There is a growing awareness and appreciation for Caló: "...until the recent work by Luisa Rojo, in the Autonomous University of Madrid, not even the linguistics community recognized the significance and problems of Caló and its world." Its world includes songs, poetry and flamenco. As Iberian Romani proper is extinct and as Caló is endangered, some people are trying to revitalise the language. The Spanish politician Juan de Dios Ramírez Heredia promotes Romanò-Kalò, a variant of International Romani, enriched by Caló words. His goal is to reunify the Caló and Romani roots. Literature In 1838, the first edition of Embéo E Majaró Lucas translated by George Borrow was published and began to be distributed in Madrid. This was Borrow's translation of the Gospel of Luke into Caló. A revision of this was printed in 1872.
