Hi, Cherry, Sally, and Eddy.
All of your answers are enlightening. Thank you very much for helping me.

Not at all Eddy. Just trying to help.

Answer 3

i agree, since quite a lot of questions are spelt incorrectly.
just thought i would point it out. hope you didn't mind

Answer 4

It could be that he is not spelling it right and since he said it refers to people I thought of aguacil meaning sheriff.

Answer 5

hi sally
sherrif is aGUAcil. she is saying alcaucil

Answer 6

Cherry is right, it is artichoke, however, in the southern cone, which is Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, it also means a "pimp".

Answer 7

I am not sure about your spelling but I think the answer to your question is probably "sheriff".

n. artichoke, plant with an edible flower head; (Southern Cone) informant, one who provides information or intelligence
