Pelódromo

In Spanish, the place where horses race is an hipódromo. The place where dog races are held is a galgódromo. The place where bicycle races take place is a velódromo. Ok, you get the idea. Then, in Mexico City, the place where models strip, showing pelos (hair, but in this specific case pubic hair) one after the other on a catwalk is a pelódromo. In other words, pelódromo is a terrible yet very funny euphemism for a strip club.
