"Tabique" is Spanish for wall, as a general noun. (Synonyms: muro, tapia, pared)
"Tabique de Hostion" is a misspelling, the word they wanted to write is Ostión [1] (synonym with "ostra" for oyster). "Hostión" instead means "a large host" as a sacramental bread, and is also vulgar slang for "a heavy smack or punch" [2].

- cryptonector 2y agoThere are many Spanishes, all sharing roughly the same basic rules (orthographic, grammatic) but all with different vocabularies, and different preferences for various tenses.
