Obsolete or deprecated jargon term used in Costa Rica as a synonym for bad. It seems it was forged by the common use of a joyful technique called the Malespín during the last century. This word game proposed the change of letter A by E, the I by O, M to P and T to B.

So Pelis is merely the result of "Malos" (Bads) in Malespín.

Also "Tuanis" ("Buenos") is for Good or great, or Work ("Trabajo") is "Brete" ("Breteji", actually. We drop the last two letters with the time).

A depiction of the common Pelican wearing business or "Biznis" attire. This includes, but is not limited to: a suit, tie, bow tie, bowler hat, briefcase, and cuff links. The intended meaning of Biznis Pelikin is not publicly known, but many theorize that the original artist just wanted everyone to live by the adage, "don't worry, be happy."

The evolved form of Biznis Pelikin, known as Gilded Goose, occurs after an undetermined amount of business endeavors.

Biznis Pelikin is most commonly seen in graffiti in the style of kikor, but its depiction is not limited to graffiti. It can also be seen in chalk drawings, paintings, carvings, and a myriad of other unconventional art installations.
Biznis Pelikin is always ready to make a deal.... as long as it is during normal work-day hours.
