Apart from its original meaning (brazilian slave settlement), in Argentina and the Rio de la Plata area (also Uruguay and Paraguay), "Quilombo" originally had the meaning of "brothel" in "lunfardo", a secret language used by dodgers. Then its meaning changed into "mess". Que quilombo! This means "what a mess!"
