Missing Internet slang sense[edit]
I'm sure it doesn't meet CFI, but you can find various bitter men's groups (the incel etc.?) referring to women as "tunas". Derogatory term. Presumably from the fishy smell of an unwashed crotch. Equinox ◑ 01:34, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Three L2 sections for New World languages have diacritics that would seem to require that they be moved. I have no familiarity with these languages. DCDuring (talk) 04:24, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
- If the diacritics are like macrons in Latin, only aiding in pronouncing the term or the like, they may be fine where they are. I don't have time at this moment to check. - -sche (discuss) 15:38, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- OK. Thanks. DCDuring (talk) 16:44, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- Possibly relevant: the names of the languages, Purukotó, Sapará and Wayumará, all have the same diacritic on the word-final syllable as the word "tuná" itself. These are all poorly attested Cariban languages in Spanish-speaking countries with names that don't follow Spanish orthographic rules. Chuck Entz (talk) 19:28, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- -sche can decide this, if it gets gotten around to. I've removed the RfM tag. DCDuring (talk) 20:48, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
