Is "quilombo" a common English expression? I've never heard it before and can't find it in the dictionary.

Also, please add a full stop at the end.

Thanks Vortarulo, I'll make sure there are full stops from now on! Quilombo is not a common expression in English, I just included this translation as well as 'in this mess' in case the OP was referring literally to a quilombo, which is a settlement of escaped slaves in Brazil. The word exists in English but is not common.
