In Spain, 'gorrillas' are unofficial parking attendants who offer unsolicited help finding spaces in busy areas and expect a tip. Many drivers pay out of fear they'll come back to a scratched car

Worth noting the word has nothing to do with the animal, that's written with one r and one l on Spanish. Gorrilla (kind of rhymes with Aaliyah) is the diminutive of gorra (cap), gorila is what you call a big bouncer (not to their face).

Lol!

They're actually called "Castanha do Pará", that means "Pará's Nuts", being Pará the main region where it occurs. ✌️
