Abstract
Within oral and popular compositions, there are some words that stand out for the significance of their meaning. They are refrains which work as a kind of an expressive, rhythmic and metaphorical tag, even though their hidden meaning is somehow mysterious. These stylistic devices are halfway between onomatopoeia, pun, irony. They often have a double sense that leads to naughty and sensual connotations bold, bawdy and sometimes rowdy. These poetic repertoire -before unattended- persist not as a passive reflection of inherited traditions, but as a melting pot of new recreations and reconfigurations that permeate genres, repertoires and various records
