Allow me to clarify my earlier question about Porteqo.
(By the way, I cheat & use the cut & paste method.)

The usage I have heard is as an adjective, not a noun.
I usually hear it from women who will describe a
tanguero as feeling porteqo. We have also heard how
Argentines can tell a porteqo from the way he walks.
I suppose the difference is similar between being a
New Yorker and not being a New Yorker.

Pittsburgh is a port city, but it is the local dialect
and the Pittsburgh left turn that gives one away as a
native.

So what are the characteristics of being a porteqo
that are reflected (or not) in one's tango?
