cagatinta
n.— «He directs the reputed cultural magazine of the institution and with 84 years of age he goes every day to the bank, from which he retired after 37 years of work. But these are things that the miserable cagatintas [“ink shiters” in our colorful parlance] that make “aporrea” do not understand and never will.» —“The baseness of “aporrea.org”” by Daniel Venezuela News and Views (Caracas, Venezuela) Apr. 29, 2004.
