In anatomy, a nasal concha (), plural conchae (), also called a nasal turbinate or turbinal, is a long, narrow, curled shelf of bone that protrudes into the breathing passage of the nose in humans and various animals. The conchae are shaped like an elongated seashell, which gave them their name (Latin ''concha'' from Greek ''κόγχη'').

Conchera
A conchera or concha is Mexican stringed-instrument, plucked by concheros dancers. The instruments were important to help preserve elements of native culture from Eurocentric-Catholic suppression. The instruments are used by concheros dancers for singing at ''velaciones'' (nighttime rituals) and for dancing at ''obligaciones'' (dance obligations).

Today the bowls may be made of wood and the mandolin have a flat back. *''mandolinos de concheros'' or ''mandolina conchera'': with 4 double courses (8 strings), tuned as mandolin (g-d-a-e). *''vihuelas de concheros'' or ''vihuela conchera'': with 5 double courses (10 strings).

Spanish Profanity
The Spanish language employs a wide range of swear words that vary between Spanish speaking nations and in regions and subcultures of each nation. Idiomatic expressions, particularly profanity, are not always directly translatable into other languages, and so most of the English translations offered in this article are very rough and most likely do not reflect the full meaning of the expression they intend to translate. Overview In Spanish, as in most languages, swear words tend to come from semantic domains considered taboo, such as human excretions, sexuality, and religion, and swearing serves several functions in discourse. Spanish insults are often of a sexual nature, taking the form of implying a lack of sexual decency if the insulted person is a woman (e.g. ''puta'', "whore", ''perra'' "bitch") or implying a lack of masculinity if the insulted person is male (e.g. ''maricón'' "faggot", ''puto'' "male prostitute"). A particularly forceful Spanish insult is any mention ...

Concho (ornament)
A concho or concha is a typically oval silver ornament found in Native American art. Conchos are most closely associated with the Navajo people, with one of the best known forms being the concho belt. Conchos were first made by eastern tribes such as the Delaware and Shawnee, whose craftsmen learned their trade from European artisans. Following their resettlement in Oklahoma in the 1830s, they passed the art form on to Plains tribes including the Comanche, Kiowa and Ute Ute or UTE may refer to: * Ute (band), an Australian jazz group * Ute (given name) * ''Ute'' (sponge), a sponge genus * Ute (vehicle), an Australian and New Zealand term for certain utility vehicles * Ute, Iowa, a city in Monona County along the ..., who in turn introduced it to the Navajo of the Southwest.
