Not gonna lie, sometimes I wonder how many "servilletas" are at my Uni (full of leftists and socdems).
-
I'm not familiar with that slang (only know servilleta to mean a literal napkin) and Google wasn't helpful--could you explain it?
-
Of course.
In spanish:
-Servicios de inteligencia = Intelligence Services = Intelligence Agency
-SERVIcios = Services
-SERVIlletas.
And that's why we call them "napkins". Is just the similarity of "Servicios" with "Servilleta". No deeper meaning.
Sorry for the late response.

Thanks for the explanation! I guess it'd be like if we called feds "fedoras" in English (although I think "napkins" is funnier since they're such trivial objects).
And no worries--wasn't time sensitive or anything!
