A form of wordplay where a sentence is crafted in such a way that hides a vulgar or offensive meaning. For example, "Te presento a mi amiga Deborah Meltroso" may sound like a simple introduction, but when spoken aloud, it mimics the crude phrase "devórame el trozo", meaning "devour my penis." Albures can get very advanced, and when done well, the victim has no idea they're being mocked. It's complex and requires pratice. It's more often used in the streets or poorer areas.
