pin-CHON: (spanish) One who likes "pinchar"

Pinchar: v. 1. To hurt with a pointed thing
	    2. To tease
	    3. To annoy
	    4. (fam.) Miss, fail to accomplish the expected outcome
	    5. (fam.) To stick a knife into
	    6. (fam.) To inject drugs

I have a friend who, just after finishing GR, said that it was a pity
his name wouldn't be pronounced pin-CHON.  I feel so much better now!

Saludos, Juan.
