      It could be worse. I knew flamenco means flamingo and that there’s a Spanish dance called the flamenco, but never made the connection that there could be Spanish flamingos until now.

      Yes but the name of the dance doesn’t come from the bird. I think it comes from ‘Flemish’, which is also ‘flamenco’ in Spanish.
