My apologies for not giving you all an update sooner, but better late than never right?<br />
<br />
See you at <a href="http://pelangoche.blogspot.com/">No Seas Pelangoche</a>!Rodneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431743267832998779.post-20572525443746495722010-03-22T18:43:00.000-07:002010-03-25T17:14:12.585-07:00Quiero que me hagas la puñeta rusaThe last couple of weeks we've looked at some pretty interesting language, so let's turn our attention to something a little racier.<br /><br /><strong>Puñeta rusa</strong><br /><br />Also known as a <strong>paja rusa</strong>, <strong>paja china</strong>, or a <strong>paja cubana</strong>.<br /><br />Yes, I know, having a few synonyms for today's vocabulary word of choice is great, but so far I still haven't told you what it means. So, without further delay:<br /><br />A <strong>puñta rusa</strong> is what we call a titty fuck. So when we examine our sentence:<br /><br /><strong>Quiero que me hagas la puñeta rusa</strong><br />I want to titty fuck you<br /><br />Now, to my knowledge, <strong>puñeta rusa</strong> is a Mexican term. <strong>Paja rusa</strong>, <strong>paja chino</strong>, or <strong>paja cubana</strong> may be a bit more universal. If you want to use any of the other expressions instead of <strong>puñeta rusa</strong>, just replace <strong>puñeta rusa</strong> with your expression of choice <br /><br /><strong>Quiero que me hagas la paja rusa</strong><br /><br /><strong>Quiero que me hagas la paja china</strong><br /><br /><strong>Quiero que me hagas la paja cubana</strong><br /><br /><br />If you want to offer someone a <strong>puñeta rusa</strong>, you can say:<br /><br /><strong>Quiero hacerte la puñeta rusa</strong><br /><br /><strong>Quiero hacerte la paja rusa</strong><br /><br /><strong>Quiero hacerte la paja china</strong><br /><br /><strong>Quiero hacerte la paja cubana</strong><br /><br />Obviously that piece of advice is for the ladies. Unless, well, no, let's not go there. At least not in this post. <br /> <br />You might be tempted to think I picked this up from a cab driver or in a seedy bar from a bunch of tough looking guys with tatoos, but believe it or not, I learned this from a group of very nice young ladies in a respectable bar during one of my trips to México. And sooner or later some the other words they taught me will show up on this blog as well. <br /><br />Don't ask me what this has to with a russian (rusa) , cuban (cubana), or a chinese woman (china), but that's the way it works. <br /><br />I will leave you with one other vocabulary word very closely related to this subject -- <strong>tetas</strong>, or tits. Clearly having <strong>tetas grandes</strong> is an advantage for this type activity. But more on the subject of <strong>tetas</strong> in another post.<br /><br /><br />Well, that's it for today. Actually, it's probably more like that's enough for today, jaja. <br /><br />¡Espero que te sirva!Rodneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431743267832998779.post-35958439703857700842010-03-09T16:08:00.000-08:002010-03-25T17:14:12.610-07:00¡Vete a la chingada!You're going to see the phrase "<strong>a la chingada</strong>" a lot as we talk about more <strong>mala palabras</strong> de México. <br /><br />Remember, everything you'll learn on this blog is going to be rude and not for polite company. And "<strong>vete a la chingada</strong>" is no exception. In fact, this is pretty damn strong. And that's an understatement.<br /><br />It basically means "go to hell" but with the intensity of "go fuck yourself". <br /><br />This phrase really doesn't require much explanation on how to use it. Anytime you feel the need to tell someone off, this is a good choice. And if it's directed at you, you've made someone pretty angry. <br /><br />Many people speculate over exactly where "<strong>la chingada</strong>" is. Well it turns it was quite easy to solve that mystery with Google at my side. When someone tells you to go the "<strong>la chingada</strong>", you can consider booking your next vacation at <a href="http://lachingadaresort.tripod.com/" target="_blank">La Chingada</a>. <br /><br />Ok, that link actual leads to page that makes fun of the phrase "<strong>a la chingada</strong>". But I'm sure you'll figure that out as soon as you read the page. <br /><br />I encourage you <a href="http://lachingadaresort.tripod.com/" target="_blank">¡Vete a la chingada!</a> for a few laughs and learn a little bit more about <strong>chingar</strong> and <strong>la chingada</strong>, and <strong>ten cuidado</strong> (be careful) with this phrase.<br /><br />¡Cuidense bien!Rodneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431743267832998779.post-16246611796941440752010-02-28T08:23:00.000-08:002016-09-09T16:11:05.579-07:00Pinche idiota<strong>Pinche</strong> is one of those words I like to call a "sentence enhacer". It puts extra emphasis on the subject matter at hand.<br />
<br />
If you've been studying Spanish for a while, you've likely heard the word <strong>pinche</strong>. Especially if you've been in any type of social setting where people start letting their hair down. A few chelas bien fría (nice cold beers) and all of sudden the Spanish language starts getting a little more colorful. Although some people don't need beer for that. <br />
<br />
So what does "<strong>pinche</strong>" mean? It's somewhere between damn, god-damn and fucking in English, depending on who you ask. But my understanding is that it's closer to "fucking". Either way, we don't really need an exact translation, what we do need to know is that "<strong>pinche</strong>" is a pretty strong word, so it's not for polite company.<br />
<br />
Let's look at our example sentence:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Pinche idiota</span></strong><br />
Fucking idiot<br />
<br />
Sure, calling someone an <strong>idiota</strong> is a pretty good <strong>insulto</strong> (insult), but when you throw in our sentence enhancer, <strong>pinche</strong>, now you're getting serious! <br />
<br />
Let's try a few more:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Ese pinche carro es una porquería</span></strong><br />
That fucking car is a piece of junk<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Me cae mal ese pinche cabrón</span></strong><br />
I don't like that fucking asshole<br />
<br />
You can throw in <strong>pinche</strong> just about anywhere:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Pinche pendejo</span></strong><br />
Fucking dumbass<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Pinche taxi</span></strong><br />
Fucking taxi<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Pinche viejo</strong></span><br />
Fucking old man<br />
<br />
In fact, I actually heard someone use "<strong>pinche vieja</strong>" in a restaurant one day, it gave me a good chuckle. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this <strong>pinche</strong> entrada (blog post). <br />
<br />
Goodbye for now amigos!<br />

In this case, it translates quite nice to English...<br /><br />"I'm going to fuck you up"<br /><br />Hopefully the only time you'll hear this is as a joke, which is how I heard it. The good news is it should be fairly easy to tell if someone is joking or not with this one. And if they aren't joking, then you've mananged to get yourself into a pickle, hopefully not with something you learned from my blog, LOL.<br /><br />And like everything else in Spanish, there's more than one way to skin a cat.<br /><br /><b>Voy a partir tu mandarina en gajos</b><br />I'm going to tear your mandarin orange into slices.<br /><br /><b>Te voy a partir la madre, hijo de la chingada</b><br />I'm going to split your mother you son of a bitch.<br /><br />Well, our second example doesn't translate so well, but both examples mean the same thing as "<b>Te voy a chingar</b>"....somebody wants to kick your ass. <br /><br />Since we're on the topic of bodily harm, there's some more vocabulary that fits right in...<b>putazos</b>, <b>golpes </b>and <b>chingadazos</b>. In fact, I actually discussed <b>putazos </b>and <b>golpes </b>in my other blog, you can read the entry <a href="http://myspanishnotes.blogspot.com/2008/09/t-shirts-are-complicated.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />But basically, <b>golpes </b>are punches or hits of the normal sort. When you give out <b>putazos </b>and <b>chingadazos</b>, you're really handing out an ass-whooping. You can think of the two as synonyms, but do remember they're both a bit crude. In fact, the picture below gives you a visual image of <b>chingadazos</b>, but if you click the link you'll see a very entertaining video that brings <b>chingadazos </b>to life.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBwbM3ZsYAg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ZoztPqI7dDRnIcucmz3QdmgeUhxxOPuECm0a56UYwasjLU6OO6imytgXUurj9OpokvYCLsXEuafhQe2VDysHojIs7hynVazrMJdN5EPtaKIt8h80r-sWFDRE_9lW2_i8BrMFwJgFXfq-/s320/chindadazos-familyguy-chicken-fight.jpg" /></a></div><br />I hope you enjoy the video, I always get a good laugh out of it. <br /><br />¡Nos vemos!Rodneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431743267832998779.post-21884422522652251942010-02-13T16:53:00.000-08:002010-03-25T17:14:12.642-07:00Tienes el pito grandeOur phrase for today translates to "You have a big whistle". <br /><br />Given the nature of this blog, you've probably already guessed we aren't talking about whistles. So then, what are we talking about?<br /><br /><strong>Pito</strong> officially means whistle. Unofficially, <strong>pito</strong> is a euphemism for penis. The medical term for penis is <strong>pene</strong>. <strong>Pito</strong> is just one of many nicknames of the male body part. Pito actually isn't all that rude, it's more along the lines of "willy". <br /><br />But this blog isn't about nice words, so let's look at some other options.<br /><br /> <strong>Pinga </strong>is another euphamism for penis, and is without a doubt, very rude. While you may see some people translate this as penis, it's really more like the word dick in English. <br /><br /><strong>Verga</strong> is another very common word for penis. It's actually a nautical term, meaning yard, but in this context translates to cock. Again, pretty vulgar.<br /><br />Getting back to our phrase, "<strong>Tienes el pito grande</strong>", there's another way to say this..."<strong>tienes un grandote</strong>". This one is more like "you have a big one". The penis part is implied.<br /><br />Well, that's it for now. I'm not sure what I'll be talking about next, but rest assured, it will be something to improve your knowledge of <strong>groseras</strong> and <strong>palabrotas</strong>.

This is an interesting word, because at some point in history it took a whole new meaning.<br />
<br />
Take a look at this picture, and for those of you who've heard this word before,this picture is not what you think...<br />

<br />
<b>Panocha </b>is actually a form of brown sugar, but I don't suggest that you walk into a grocery store asking for <b>panocha</b>, because you'll get several rude looks, and you'd be getting off easy.<br />
<br />
Somewhere along the way <b>panocha </b>became a vulgar term for vagina (vagina is the same word in both Spanish and English, just a different pronunciation). In English, <b>panocha </b>means pussy. And it's just as vulgar in Spanish as pussy is in English. <br />
<br />
You can't use <b>panocha </b>as an insult, it's strictly for the female body part.<br />
<br />
Below is a list of the other Spanish words I know of that you can use to talk about that part of the female anatomy:<br />
<br />
<b>Vagina </b>- This is the medical term<br />
<b>Almeja, Almejita</b> - Actually means clam<br />
<b>Araña</b> - Spider<br />
<b>Chuca</b> - Not sure if there is an English translation<br />
<b>Panochita</b> - This is a cuter (but still vulgar) way of saying <b>panocha</b><br />
<br />
<br />
That's it for now. And ladies, I haven't forgotten you. My next post will be about terms for the male body part!<br />

And there's a lot more to come. But we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, let's decipher this phrase first. <br /><br />To cut to the chase,"<b>vales para pura chingada</b>" means "you're not worth shit".<br /><br />Vales comes for valor - to be worth something. And not only can you use it on people, you can use it in other contexts. Here are some more examples:<br /><br /><b>Este carro vale para pura chingada.</b><br />This car isn't worth shit.<br /><br /><b>Este pedazo de chatarra vale para pura chingada.</b><br />This piece of junk isn't worth shit.<br /><br />As far as swearing in Spanish goes, this is pretty straight-forward. Or as the saying goes "<b>pan comida</b>". <br /><br />¡Hasta la próxima!Rodneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431743267832998779.post-78343873940106960732010-01-23T21:48:00.000-08:002010-03-25T17:14:12.671-07:00Andar en chingaIf you're not familar with the verb <strong>andar</strong>, you can read up on it at my other blog, by clicking <a href="http://myspanishnotes.blogspot.com/search/label/Andar" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />But today we're talking about <strong>andar en chinga</strong>, and adding the <strong>en chinga</strong> changes it's meaning.<br /><br /><strong>Andar en chinga</strong> means to be busy, or in a hurry. And since it involves the word <strong>chinga</strong>, it's pretty rude. <br /><br />Here are some examples:<br /><br /><strong>Ando en chinga todo el tiempo</strong><br />I'm always in a fucking hurry / I'm busy all the fucking time<br /><br /><strong>Tengo que andar en chinga cuando me avisas con una hora de anticipo</strong><br />I have to fucking hurry when you only give me an hours notice<br /><br /><strong>Ve en chinga para las cocas</strong><br /> Hurry the hell/fuck up and go get the cokes.<br /><br />I translated <strong>en chinga</strong> as the equivalent of the F word in English, but translation isn't always an exact science. It may not have quite the sting of the F word, but in any case it's pretty harsh and not to be used in polite company. <br /><br />Well, that's it for now. I hope you found this little tidbit entertaining. And if you're so inclined, it will make you sound a little more native.<br /><br />¡Espero que te sirva!Rodneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431743267832998779.post-60551887109763566722010-01-21T20:00:00.000-08:002010-03-25T17:14:12.687-07:00Te voy a dar un cojidonLet's get straight down to business, especially since there's no polite way to translate to this.<br /><br /><strong>Cojidon</strong> is related to <strong>coger</strong>, and <strong>coger</strong> means to catch, or to take, depending on the context. But in Mexico and some other parts of Latin American, it also means to <strong>tener sexo</strong>. But a more accurate translation is "to fuck". <br /><br />While that's nice to know, it still doesn't explain what <strong>cojidon</strong> means. By now I'm sure you've guessed it has something to do with sex, since it's related to <strong>coger</strong>. So what does it mean?<br /><br />A <strong>cojidon</strong> might be loosely translated as a "mighty fuck". But we'd say something like "I'm going to fuck the shit out of you". <br /><br />So if you've performed as promised, your parter (pareja) might say something like:<br /><br /><strong>Me dio un cojidon</strong> -- He (or she) fucked the shit out of me.<br /><br />Heck, you might even hear that you're <strong>muy chingón</strong> (you're the shit, or the best) in the bedroom.<br /><br />And if you going to go around handing out <strong>cojidons</strong>, be sure to practice <strong>sexo seguro</strong> (safe sex).<br /><br />¡Hasta la próxima!Rodneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431743267832998779.post-46758177104314176522010-01-16T18:07:00.000-08:002010-03-25T17:14:12.724-07:00Me vale madreThis phrase comes from the verb <strong>valor</strong>. <br /><br /><strong>Me vale madre</strong> is a way of saying "I don't give a damn". Actually, it's stronger than that, more like "I don't give a shit/fuck". <br /><br /> Here's a quick chart:<br /><br /><br /><strong>Te vale madre</strong> = You don't give a shit<br /><strong>Le vale madre</strong> = He/She doesn't give a shit<br /><strong>Nos vale madre</strong> = We don't give a shit<br /><br /><strong>Les vale madre</strong> = They don't give a shit <br /><br />There are times when you don't need such a strong response, in which case you can drop the "<strong>madre</strong>" and say "<strong>me vale</strong>", which simply means "I don't care". You can also say "<strong>no me importa</strong>". Think of it as:<br /><br /><br /><strong>Me vale</strong> = <strong>no me importa</strong> = I don't care. <br /><br />That's it! If you speak enough Spanish, sooner or later you're going to come across this, it's actually quite common. <br /><br />Before I go, let me say that <strong>madre</strong> is a very strong word in Spanish, at least in Mexican Spanish. There are plenty of ways to use this word, and we'll be looking at those later.<br /><br />Cuidense!Rodneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431743267832998779.post-17449196542648597112010-01-16T14:15:00.000-08:002010-03-25T17:14:12.714-07:00Hace un chingo de fríoIt's winter time, and sometimes "<strong>hace frio</strong>" doesn't convey just how cold it is. So let's look at a few ways to express just how cold it is in a more colorful fashion.<br /><br />With that said, let's take a look at our phrase for today.<br /><br /><strong>Hace un chingo de frío</strong><br /><br />We know that "hace frio" means it's cold. That part is easy. Now lets move on to "<strong>un chingo</strong>".<br /><br />"<strong>Un chingo</strong>" is a lot of something. It's synonomous with montón -- a ton of , a lot of. But "<strong>un chingo</strong>" derives from <strong>Chingar</strong>. If you don't already know, <strong>Chingar</strong> and its many variations are used to add "emphasis" to things. It's a word you'll quite often in this blog, and make no mistake about it, <strong>Chingar</strong> is along the lines of the F word in English.<br /><br />But back to our phrase. <br /><br />If we put everything together, we get it "It makes a lot of cold", well, more like "It makes a lot of fucking cold", when you translate it literally. But we'd just say "It's really fucking cold".<br /><br />There are other ways to talk about how cold it is, all equally rude (<strong>grosero</strong>).<br /><br /><strong>Hace un frio de la chingada</strong>.<br /><br /><strong>Que puto frío!</strong><br /><br /><strong>Hace un frío hijo de puta!</strong><br /><br />Well, that's it for today. I know there are expressions we didn't talk about, like "<strong>hijo de puta</strong>" and "<strong>de la chingada</strong>", but we'll get to those expressions and more in due time. <br /><br />And I really shouldn't have to tell you to "<strong>ten cuidado</strong>" (be careful) with these expressions, but I will anyway. <br /><br />Hasta la próxima!Rodneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431743267832998779.post-88774414146467920942010-01-13T18:13:00.000-08:002010-03-25T17:14:12.702-07:00Pelangoche (Grosero, Malhablado, Boca Sucia)So what does it mean to be <strong>Pelangoche</strong>?<br /><br />Someone who is <strong>Pelangoche</strong> is a person who uses a lot of <strong>malas palabras</strong> -- bad words. <strong>Grosero</strong> (rude) and <strong>malhablado</strong> (foul-mouthed) are synonyms. And that's what this blog is all about, <strong>malas palabras</strong>. <br /><br />By the way, take a look at this <a href="http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1117485">thread</a> in WordReference. It gives you a little more detail about Pelangoche, or Pelangocha for women.<br /><br />Even if you don't swear (<strong>decir groserías/malas palabras /palabrotas</strong>) you're bound to hear them sooner or later. <br /><br />Personally, I think it's a good thing to be able to recognize <strong>palabrotas</strong> (bad words) when you hear them, and yes, occassionally (OK, maybe more than occassionally) I've been known to use a few myself. Naturally, I want to learn how to curse a little bit in Spanish as well. And more importantly, my goal is to master the Spanish language, and you can't do that without learning all aspects of the language, so here we are.<br /><br />Whatever your reasons for coming here are, I'm going to share everything I learn with you . Many people or sites are a bit shy about the subject, but in this blog, I'm going to touch on everything, not only bad words, but also sex related vocabulary. And I'm going to be very straight-forward about it, so if you're the sensitive type, this site might not be for you.<br /><br />My focus will be primarily on Mexican Spanish. Why? Well, most importantly I speak mostly with Mexicans, so that's what I'm learning. Secondly, slang varies so much from country to country, and even regionally within a country, trying to keep up with all of that is nearly impossible. <br /><br />Anyway, I hope you find this blog useful and interesting. My goal for you (and myself) isn't just to learn a bunch of definitions, but to learn how to understand and use these words the same way we understand them in English. <br /><br />Nos vemos!Rodneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11982073579438095731noreply@blogger.com1
