There’s a restaurant just down the start from us called El Infierno which translates as hell. I looked it up in the dictionary to check for an alternative meaning and there were a few listings:
- Hell, the place of the devil and wicked souls; torment of the wicked.
- Limbo.
- Anything which causes confusion, pain, or trouble; discord, dispute.
Mandar a uno al quinto infierno -> to tell somebody to go to hell - Refectory or eating room in some convents.
- A large retort or other chemical vessel.
So I’m wondering if the folks who eat there rely on definition #4 instead of anything which causes pain. I’m tempted to try this place out.
