I'm reading Dinosauria by David Weishample, et al. and came across this word. I cannot find any references to a meaning online. Here are some sample sentences. "Most ichnocoenoses have no coordinate directional orientation. Analysis with a compass-rose diagram may reveal a preferred orientation, but if there were true herding organization it should be apparent on inspection."

"Of special importance is the relative frequency of ichnospecies among track ways that lack coordinate orientations. Ichnocoenoses typically incluse one to four taxa each represented by numerous trackways and one or more other taxa represented by one or a few trackways."

or is the technical sense an insult? Is it a choice or simply a lack of imput? I'm thinking the insult doesn't lie with the blame, but some people get ToUchY.

I learned that "cojonudo" is a vulgar way to express perfection in Spanish. Does anyone know any translation in other languages, such as English, Italian, French, Portugues, Hungarian, German, taking into consideration the register? I am asking this since I cannot find it in official dictionaries. Can you give me a few examples to see how the word is used? Thanks.
