its literal translation to English is pavement (UK) or sidewalk (US). Although in most cases it appears as the idiom “es de la acera de enfrente” (is from the opposite sidewalk), in several dictionaries as the Martin and Leon, it appears as a term to point to homosexual or effeminate man. “Es de la acera de enfrente” is related to the pathologizing idea of sexual inversion, which has produced terms as “Invertido” and “Invertito” in the Spanish and Italian language, or “Konträr” in German language, meaning Invested.
In the English language we find the same meaning with expressions like “bat for the other team”, “play for the other team” and “for the other team”.
