Description This paper presents the results of a quantitative research of circulation of an identitary neologism 'bolos'. This insult can cover a rich semantic field and due to its etymological opacity, its sens have been changed in different ways, depending the social rank, regions, ways and periods of its discovery. To describe its usage, a questionary of more than 1200 respondents, passed between March 2008 and January 2009, is analysed.
