I have no presidential candidate to vote for and spanish bad word thread

[steve dave]

nowhere near as much as you probably did but I kinda did the same. then every single person we spoke to was fluent.

[mocat]

Paris. I went there because of steve dave. Thanks steve dave

[sys]

not googling because I want the sys explanation, what is a pendejo (sp? obv)

Mexican slang for bad person and not the body part.

yep.  not exclusively mexican.

[sys]

pinche madre?

yes, it was pinche, not chinca. ty. sys, how filthy is that to someone who speaks the lingo?

not that strong.  pinche is a modifer, like rough ridin' or damned.  it just emphasizes the following word or phrase.  it's a curse, but not a very strong one (but super common).  it's pure mexican.  like bloody is english.  no one else uses it (maybe guatemalans).

[SkinnyBenny]

i didn't think it meant anything.  finding out it means a short, fat penis has rocked me to my core.

Specifically, wider than it is long.

you're making this up.

Nah, it's not made up. @WonderMeal

[sys]

Maricon

The bad f word that rhymes with maggot

at least in mexico, it's not that strong.  more like gay (maybe a little more negative than gay).  i don't remember hearing it much in spain.  it may be stronger there or maybe just not in general use.

Guatemala. Went there with mrs mocat and her parish school deal. My Spanish got the best workout of its life, came back sore

[sys]

No me Jodas

don't eff me.  (don't eff me over, don't eff with me).  spanish.  they hardly use joder in mexico.

This has been a real treat

Buncha Punta's in this thread

:the thing where I flick the backhand of my fingers below my chin at you: (< sys? legit filth or something some transient ESL 4th grader made up?)

buncha puntas is spanglish.  flicking your chin accomplishes nothing in mexico.  they don't fall in for that latin/body language/talk with your hands stereotype.  maybe means something somewhere.

since I decided I was voting rubio this thread could have died, but like all sd threads IT LIVES!

So my puta story is a quick one. One summer while working at camp I had a cabin of 12 year old girls from a Hebrew school in Mexico City that I supervised. I had heard the word puta used before but I thought it was a friendly greeting. Well I introduced myself to this cabin by walking in and letting out a bellowing "hola putas!" They all stopped and one girl said "you just called us bitches!"

omg.

hmmm, my guy told me in 4th grade it was basically like flipping someone off but with 4 hands. his intel has been reasonably confirmed as solid in this thread so this is worrisome.

a trip to puta cana is certainly a different experience

Oh crap, I can't remember the stories but I can pretty well remember our reactions.  And the cab driver's.

[Trim]

Sergio's really good with language.

[sys]

seems like one of them was "chinca cadre" or something. sys, is that similar to anything filthy?

i skipped over this too quickly.


it could have been pinche madre, but that's kind of a weird thing to say.  more likely chinga tu madre.  which is eff your mother. (chingar is mexican for joder).  literally it means rape, but in mexico it means eff.

[steve dave]

yes, it was pinche madre. thanks sys.

[sys]

 

[steve dave]

here's the thing. you're in fourth grade. some new kid shows up who mostly speaks spanish what do you do? ask him what the mild filth words are? you ask him what the absolute worst words are. you can't remember crap, you're in 4th grade. get the critical info and move on.

[star seed 7]

when i worked with a bunch of mexicans i would say "pinche madre [redacted]" like 100 times a day and they always loved it

[Tobias]

that does sound pretty adorable adorable
