Watched the whole History of the Eagles again last night. First time ever I took note of the second line of Hotel California: “Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air” Had too look up "colitas". OK, cola in español, tail. I knew the word cola and can infer the ending as small and plural. Little tails. But that doesn't make much sense. Kept reading... Little tails - slang for buds or leaf tips. Now I understand that line a bit better.
