As an adventure travel blogger who has lived in Spain for over 7 years now, I’ve come to love their colorful language and chances are Spanish swear words are one of the first things visitors will pick up. The Spaniards have an alarmingly rich vocabulary of swear words and vulgarities – ranging from one-word cusses to full-sentence chants like “me cago en todo lo que se menea!” (I shit on everything that moves!). For those living in Spain, it’s almost strange to talk to a local and not hear a full sentence with anything erm… crude.
Mind you, I adore the Spanish language: combined with expressive hand gestures, it’s full of vigor, passion and emotions. The Spaniards for one, have always captivated my heart with their sultry linguistic demeanors.
If you get to know the Spaniards and learn Spanish well enough, you’ll come to observe that they tend to use palabrotas (swear words in Spanish) openly in their daily conversation. Words like ‘coño’ (cunt) don’t contain extremely vulgar connotations, and so are used commonly by people in Spain.
In comparison, the Latin Americans tend to be a tad bit more gentle in their language. But before you start stringing sentences with a long list of cusses, bear in mind that without the correct usage, you might just end up offending the more refined ones, or end up with a bunch of giggling audience.
Let me sum up the top swear words most frequently used in Spain. Without them, life wouldn’t be this colorful or should i say- de puta madre!
10 of the Best – Spanish Swear Words
1 Joder! (hho-DErr)
The first Spanish word I learned literally translates to ‘fuck’. For example: You forgot to bring your phone out, Joder! They’re not showing your favourite TV show anymore, Joder! Damn I have to wake up early tomorrow, Joder! It’s just part and parcel of daily life in Spain. It’s used in many power-packed sentences like ‘Que te jodan! (Fuck you!)’.
2 Mierda! (mi-err-da)
This literally means ‘shit’, and is the most lightweight of all these swear words. It makes a perfect combination with many words to give a better impact, such as ‘Come mierda! (A shit-eater!)’.
3 Gilipollas (hhi-li-PO-yas)
Used frequently to describe bastards, the word ‘Gilipollas’ is simply served as a retorting cuss. When someone pisses you off, or even teases you, you would call him a ‘Gilipollas’. Translated literally, ‘gili’ comes from a latin word meaning ‘son’.
4 Qué Cabrón! (kehh cabrON)
In reality, ‘cabrón’ refers to a big male goat, with giant horns. As the old Spanish saying goes, a man whose wife is cheating on him is called a ‘cabrón’ i.e. his horns are growing. Everyone then started using ‘Que Cabrón!’(What a bastard!), to swear at others. It’s quite a mild cuss, and often used just as a sarcastic remark instead of a real curse.
5 Los cojones! (los co-hho-nehs)
The Spanish men are known as ‘machotes’ (macho men who are proud of their balls), and so, besides the toros (bulls) and the corridas(running of the bulls), they love to show their masculinity by adding the word ‘cojones’ (literally means ‘testicals’) to their colorful language. It tends to be used more like the word ‘Bullshit!’ in English, in occasions when someone is trying to give you some crappy excuse, you would respond with ‘Los Cojones!’
6 Me cago en todo lo que se menea!
My personal favorite Spanish swear word of all. It is long yet packs a punch. Whenever I hear my husband chant this long cuss while driving, I crack up. It literally means ‘I shit on everything that moves.’ (strangely unvulgar but can be loosely translated to mean ‘fuck’ in Spanish.) ‘Me cago en…’ is a very commonly used cuss, and can be combined with anything and everything that comes to mind, like ‘Me cago en Dios’ (..on God) or ‘Me cago en tus muertos’ (..on your dead relatives).
7 La madre que te parió!
In my personal opinion, this would be top on the list of the most frequently used curse. It literally means, ‘the mother who gave birth to you!’ It is used in the same way as ‘motherfucker’ in English. Usually used as part of a sentence for example: ‘Me cago en la madre que te parió!’ (I shit on the mother who gave birth to you.), it has the same effects as dropping a huge bomb!
8
Hijo de puta (yi-hho-deh-PU-tah)
Translated to the English swear word, ‘son of a bitch!’, it’s used in the exact same way as English, except almost ten times the frequency. It is however mostly used to tease someone, especially as a sarcastic or envious remark. Your friend gets a promotion – hijo de puta! Your brother is traveling around the world– hijo de puta! He just bought a 40inch plasma TV- hijo de puta!
9 Tonto del culo
Slightly milder than all the previous curses, this translates to ‘an idiot of the ass’ and it’s used to refer to how stupid/silly someone can be. It’s useful in all occasions.
10 Puta madre (poo-tah madre)
Literally meaning ‘fucking mother’, it can be used to curse but can also be used positively. As a form of exaggeration, it is commonly used to describe how good something is. For example: ‘Esta fiesta está de puta madre!’ (This is a fuckin’ good party!). ‘Puta madre!’ is often used to express great satisfaction, eg. ‘Barcelona won! de puta madre!

i like it but its the spanish way i think i should post u the 10 mexican ones and ull see we are not conservative at all cheers!!
Im spaniard and i ve lived for two years in Mexico. I agree with you 100%! Viva Mexico cabrones is one of the examples jajajaj
most south of the border are catholic thus technically making pretty them conservative. Why are you not conservative and what does that have to do with anything? I'm just curious.
me cago en tus muertos is great. its like 'li mortacci tua' in italian. what a strangely pagan meets catholic thing to say!
Nellie, i must add to the previous comment that mexicans, venezuelans, cubans!, peruvians! and many other latinamerican nationals do swear also quite often. See you soon!
Chinga du marda bitchs
Omg Haha Oh Like Pinche Puta Lol!:D
who care what u say
That’s some excellent information you’ve gathered on , but how do you find the time to gather it all??
hey Wickedfire, thanks for the compliments. I write whenever I get the time, and yes this blog has taken alot of my time and effort, but it’s well worth it!
I am a spanish swear word expert and you forgot the word Hola! I say Hola to whoever I see, and I'm so excited to use all the new words I learned on here! YAY! for spanish swear words! LUDAS MORAINE FLUE!
There is a Venezuelan one that reads "ma ma way-vo" which means "suck my dick" hahahaha! My colleague taught me that.
its actually mama huevo-and it translates to ball sucker
mama webo = suck one of my two balls. If you want say mama webos= suck two balls. The letter ¨s¨is a big diference :)
Right. Now I am ready to live in Spain. I was getting bored of verb tables but this has reinvigorated my enthusiasm for learning the language! Great post.
My first visit here, found the blog accidentally really, and I just wanted to say I’ve enjoyed my visit and had some good reads while here :)
Juan
Alex and Antonio – I don't think he meant that they don't have a lot of bad words in other Latin American countries, but in Spain, they say these things in front of their mothers and grandmothers, for the most part w/o offending.
I'm particularly fond of "me cago en la leche" and "me cago en el mar"
the spanish language as it is, has more curse words then the english. and latin america has lots of bad words that come up to the same lvl of strenght as the spanish words. the difference is that latinos tend to use the bad words more when something bad has happened, or when trying to insult. spanish use it in everyday language and it shocks us latinos when we go to spain.
depending on where your from some bad words are bad and some are not. for ex
Spain: Joder-to fuck. Costa Rica: Joder- to bother
Mexico: Pinche-Dick Costa Rica: Pinche- a person that does not share he's belongings
Others: Carajo-Fuck Costa Rica: its a way to make the exclamation mark stronger. like Venga aqui ya, Carajo! (come here now, carajo!)
or even Carajillo. for many it translates to a little fucker. for us its means Children, kids, boys….
and i bet there are more just that non come to mind at the moment
for us piranha is a fish found in brasil. for brasileros piranha is a whore, Slut-in a strong way (concidered a bad word)
So BE CAREFUL WHAT WORDS YOU USE when you go to spanish speaking countries. NOT ALL WORDS MEAN THE SAME THING!
In Spain, "carajillo" is black coffee mixed with brandy
Hi Luis,
I'm Spanish, I can be of some help!
in Spain, Joder can also mean "to bother", i.e., "deja de joder" "no me jodas" (stop bothering me, don't bother me)
It's "Me cago en LA mar". And you can say "Me cago en la mar salá" or "Me cago en la mar salada"
"Salá/salada" is "salted"
;)
nopppee "mar" is a rare word where you can use el or la either way :) some people say la, others say el.
Yeah it´s true :)
Me cago en la leche = I shit in the milk (very very used)
But "Me cago en el mar" it´s wrong…it´s better to say "Me cago en la mar" …it´s like … I shit in the sea
Great Post.
By an spaniard ;)
''Me cago en la mar salá'' This is the correct. ;)
Wow thats sweet I sorta like spanish and know I can make some new stuf=dent in my spanish class cuss the spanish teacher out.
I'm terrible at typing so the know is now and the stuf=dent is student
This is excellent i'm learing Sapnish atm and it seems i've missed out some of the best bits : )
This is ace thanks, anymore? xx
Thanks, let me think of more interesting Spanish slangs for the next post!
i have been learning spanish for some time and only knew hijo de puta and i think pajero translates to wanker but im not 100% sure. thank you for this blog i now can now swear in spanish which for me is vital in the persuit of fluency. do these swear words apply to latin america, argentina uruguay ect ect?
hey damo thanks for the comment. Yeh these swear words apply to Latin America as well, but they're kinda strong when you use it there. Let's say eg. in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia, if you use these cusses, you might look like a total jerk. But whereas in Spain, you could use them anywhere and everywhere (even in front elderlies). Enjoy!
You are right, pajero means wanker but I would recommend you pajillero instead.
That's right, pajero it's a car^^
xddddddddddddddd
Not in Spain, precisely because of that word, in Spain this was sold as "Montero" :)
BTW, I'm half Argentinian, you can use all this in Argentina exactly the same than in Spain… they just don't say Gilipollas (use Boludo instead) and almost never use "coño" (we do all the time)
thank you so much, i have some friends from argentina/uruguay and they know most swear words in english, they're gunna be made up when i start with the vulgerness in spanish haha i carnt wait……thanx again
chuparme la verga…cara de concha
Hey damo,
Argentina actually tends to allow for alot more vulgarity without really offending. I spent some time living there and didn't realize til I got back to the states and talked with some native spanish-speaking friends here just how vulgar my vocab was haha.
in argentina they also use…
"boludo/a" and "pelotudo/a" — pretty laid back curse word. almost more like saying "crap" than a real cussword. They both mean "idiot", "dummy", "jackass" etc… in other words you did something dumb and potentially funny to everyone but you. boludo can also refer to someone who's socially awkward or inappropriate – usually not said humorously in this case.
Instead of saying "joder" like they apparently do in spain, argentinians use the same verb, but conjugated haha… You could say "jodéte" (i'll put accent marks to indicate where the accent falls even though there isn't an accent mark there) – which means "go screw/fuck yourself". "Te estoy jodiendo" means "I'm just kidding with you"/"I'm just screwing around". "La joda" refers to the party scene.. "¿Te gusta la joda?" would mean, "Do you like to party?"
Culiado/"Culiao" – is the big bad cuss word that will definitely offend in polite company. it's basically like saying "fucker" but literally means "ass-fucked". In the province of Córdoba, Argentina, the word is more accepted and packs a little less punch, but it's generally offensive unless your with close friends. In informal settings with close friends or acquaintances your age, you could call someone (not in the group you're hanging with) this and it could be taken as a joke. You'd better know someone super super well before you call them this to their face as a joke. In my experience, this word is used to tease (see how "hijo de puta" was used when someone experienced good luck or success) or if the person does something really unexpected or inappropriate or if the person is just being a straight-up jerk.
Cagarse is also super common in argentina but they usually use it followed by different expressions… some common ones would be "me cagué de risa" – i shit myself from laughter/laughing so hard". "me estoy cagando de frio" – I'm shitting myself cuz I'm so cold". "Qué cagazo!" is the equivalent of "what a fright" – but vulgar and common, not pretentious sounding haha. "Qué cagada!" is a multi-purpose expression that can express disappointment in a given situation, can express that something you just bought is a piece of shit and doesn't work, or can express the present situation is a MESS.
"Puto" – gay guy.
"coger" – literally means "to take, to catch, to pick up, to get"… but in Argentina they use it as a vulgar way to say someone slept with someone – usually a one-night-stand. "se la cogió" would be "he fucked her".
"carajo" – "andate al carajo" (go to hell). "que carajo es eso?!" (what in the world is that??) "que carajo…" (what the hell…?). "se fue al carajo" (everything went to hell). "No me importa un carajo" (I don't give a damn). etc.
"pendejo" – literally means a single pubic hair. but it's used to refer to a dumbass, especially someone younger. but it can also be a term of endearment. To an annoying, idiotic little kid: "andate, pendejo!" (get outta here). Older brother to younger brother, teasing: "Te quiero, pendejo". Eh, this one's hard to think of examples for.
"pija" – dick
"chupapija" – dick sucker.
"chupáme la pija" – "suck my dick"
"maricón" – faggot
"pajero" – wanker. someone who jacks off alot.
"la paja" – to jack off/masturbate.
"verga" – dick or cock
"cajeta" – female sex organ. pussy. (only in argentina).
"Concha" – pussy
"Andate a la concha tu madre" – basically "go fuck your mom"
Great now i can cuss out the guy who does my yard at 5am!!11
I adore the English language instead. Combined with exaggerated hand gestures, tasty bad words and people shouting it is an expressive language
I am now prepared next time I am in a situation where I need a Spanish curse word. This is a great list. I enjoyed reading all of the descriptions that went with each. Not only did I learn new words, but now I know a little bit more about them and when to use them.
jajaja ,, algunos de estos comentarios son graciosos :)
I can't for the life of me think why they don't teach us these things in school, the kids would be so much more eager to learn.There's just something so special about being able to swear in a foreign language, In English, the simple nature of curse words makes me take them less seriously, almost using them as adjectives and mostly unaware that I might actually sound more aggressive than I mean to.Then again I swear enough in English for about seven languages so I guess i should refrain from obscenities in Spain—at least until my Spanish improves or i might find myself in a real tricky situation.
y que me deciis de la expresion "a chuparla",famosa desde que Maranoda la usó para referirse a los periodistas que le amargaban la vida.
like in spanish, italian has many similar bad swear words which offend all your families from your mam to your sister to your dad or son, not that nice isn'it? but it spanish they sound better to me. i actually have a lot of spanish friends and my favourite in absolute is also "Me cago en todo lo que se menea!" or whatever altervatives eh eh
Not sure how to feel about this list! Could be very dangerous if talking to the wrong person but on the other hand may be a bit of fun. I have heard that the Spaniards don’t swear as much as other European countries such as England and especially Italy
I like the big male goat one which seems like it can be used as around close friends. I think the others could only be used in a bar watching football or even better at a game. I can imagine being very popular with Barca supporters if I started calling the Real Madrid striker a "La madre que te parió!"
Yeh you’d probably be treated like a bro if you said that. ;) The Spaniards probably don’t appear too vulgar, since cuss words are just part of their daily life – like “La madre que te parió, this paella tastes awesome!” or “Cabrón, I haven’t see you in such a long time!’ So the way they use it is really quite different from how the Brits would, not too sure about Italians though.
hello my friend, im spanish, and "la madre que te pario" normally is used by my own mother to me!!! with this i want to mean that this sentence is not offensive, most of the times we useit to show your admiration to someone…
greatt… now i can understand what the fuck heads at my table are saying about me=)
This is awesome.
In class yesterday, a friend of mine called me a 'fea perra' to my face, thinking that I didn't know as much spanish as I did.
(It was really an idiotic remark. I'm taking Spanish 1. We cover adjectives in like the first week.)
Now I have plenty of comebacks to whip back at the bastard. :] or, Gilipoya. :]
LOL That’s funny, thanks for sharing. Woo ‘fea perra’ is nasty – time to show her who’s the boss!
So funny list, but it's sad that one of the most remarkable things about spanish be the swear words. We can be very respectful too. Really!!
exelente
no no i prefer bitchaos
soory btw
This insults only work in Spain or Mexico, you have very different insults depending on the country. I'm from Argentina and we don't swear like that …
hey Anna, thanks for the input. Yes that’s true; actually my list of swear words is from Spain – a result of my Spanish friends who’ve been teaching me swear words since I started learning the language. Why don’t you teach us some Argentinean ones? ;)
So funny list, but it's sad that one of the most remarkable things about spanish be the swear words. We can be very respectful too. Really!!
Oh definitely – Spaniards are very civilized and polite actually. I didn’t mean to talk only about your swear words, but you gotta admit, your vocabulary of cuss words is huge! ;)
hay muchas mas palabrotas o expresiones que podeis analizar, como:
– lame culos
– mierdoso
– capullo
– cara jaula
– ji ome!!!
– chupona
– peaso de zorra
– mamona
– etc, etc….
Como mola! Muchas gracias Manu por compartir mas palabrotas!
vete a la mierda pendejo hijuemilputas………………………….see i'm from latin america and i'm swearing….lol.
lol thanks, you’ve proven the point :)
I have been teaching Spanish for 16 years; in 2009 I created a short tutorial after researching what was the best and more practical for beginners and intermediate levels; I did not include any cuss expressions. While they may be interesting for advanced students; they give the impression the user is a low brow, uneducated person (not in Spain). Its use its touchy, needing timely ocassions.
ah personas miran realmente palabras arriba sólo españolas de palabrota? Dios que acaban de jajajajajaja de idioma de da de aprender
¡subnormal de los cojones! ¡anormal de carrito! ¡mamonaso! ¡me cago en tu puta calavera! ¡a tomar por culo!
its hard to tell you people spaniards swearing words because we are always making new ones
Haha, thats so true!
Abrazafarolas! muerdealmohadas! pintamonas! pagafantas! chupaflautas! eres mas feo que el fari comiendo limones!
thats true, some of my friends make up new swearing words each time I hear them, ooh! and there is a mistake with Gilipoyas, Gili doesnt mean 'son' but stupid, so the translation could be dickhead….
Nice one Nellie! i only know numbers 8 and 10 since "puta" is always used curse in the Philippines jejeje :D
What a great post! My best friend is Cuban and always says "Me cago en la pinga y cojones" — very similar to what you wrote, literally I shit on my dick and balls. Too funny!
I can't believe "hostia" didn't make the list! I hear this swear word more than anything…followed closely by "me cago en.." Entertaining read!
Some bad words we use a lot in Mexico are:
Imbecil, pendejo, pinche estupido, (means something like jerk)
vete a la mierda, largate al carajo, (go to the hell, go to the shit)
chinga a tu madre (fuck your mother)
puto, maricon (gay as an offense)
And a phrase that really makes angry to Mexican people is: “hijo de tu puta madre” or combinations as “pinche puto maricon hijo de puta”, if you don’t want a fight, you don’t have to tell to a mexican something like that.
Nellie wrote a post about top 5 road trip destinations in the world and did not include Belize – cual es tu pedo, hija de puta! Granted, Belize doesn't have any real roads but still, hija de puta! And to teach you some colorful Honduranian language which most often includes references to farts – "Cual es tu pedo is literally which is your fart means what's your problem.
In american spanish, actually in argentinian spanish, are more bad words.
You can say, for example
¡Qué hijo de la gran puta! (What a son of a great whore!)
when sb is very lucky, or a bastard.
Chupa pijas (cocksucker)
When sb is gay, or whore.
Chupala (suck it)
the same way like in english
Chupamela (blow me)
In a sexual act
Andate a cagar / andate a la mierda (fuck off)
the same way like in english
Hijo/a de puta (son of bitch)
When sb is a really bad person, bastard. Also he/she can be a very lucky person
Negro de mierda (nigga – black person )
sb who is poor and a thief
sb who is black
Puta Barata (cheap whore)
Puta – perra- trola – (whore – bitch- hoocker)
I am Argentinian, and here we often use bad words in many ways
‘Me cago en Dios’ (..on God) or ‘Me cago en tus muertos’: These are really rude… I don't recomend use them. It isn`t true that all the Spaniards talk like that.
Yes it\’s not true that all Spaniards speak like that, I\’m sorry if my article was offensive in any way. I didn\’t mean that Spaniards are rude or vulgar, it\’s just amusing for a foreigner to see how they incorporate these words in their daily life.
i agree. pls never use the phrae "me cago en dios" you can offend some one very strongly,
it is not even funny.
its is just crude, rude offensive, and disrespectfull.
and do have in mind that latin america is mostly catholic and spain is protestant or catholic.
i was shocked when i read this.
i have never heard anyone say that when ive been in spain, Never.
people, say the other words if you want. am not your mother to tell you what you can say, and what you cant.
but that is a huge disrespectfull comment and blasphemy. do not use that ever, pls.
I'm from Malaga and we use "me cago en dios" A LOT XDDDDDDDDD And Málaga is famous because "Semana santa…" Catholic people use the phrase too.
Me cago en tus muertos is very storngly, but we use it too with friends :D with love~
PD. It's not gilipoyas, it's gilipollas. The etimolgoy is wrong, coños
'Me cago en Dios' it's very common, and you need to have very bad luck to ofend seriusly someone with it.
But 'me cago en tus muertos' is very dangerous if you say it to the wrong person, like, i.e. to a gypsy.
"me cago en dios" It's used when something goes unexpectedly wrong or when you simply get pissed of, it's not that rude because you can't say it refering to another person. "me cago en la puta" works as an equivalent. A similarity in english expressions could be "Oh Fucking Shit!"
"me cago en tus muertos" that's very very rude, you can't say that to anybody if you do don't expect a good reaction at all :).
pinche hijo de perra-vete a la verga-déjà de chingar you forgott this words
This insults only work in Spain or Mexico, you have very different insults depending on the country. I'm from Argentina and we don't swear like that .
Haha, I’m two years late to this post here, but this list was exactly was I was looking for! Composing a mail full of these babies ;) Too bad they’re mostly Spanish, I want to scream at a Chilean latino :P Oh well, I’ll throw in a couple of tonto and bobo and I guess the message will go through.
Speaking of swearing, you have seen Rita Moreno tell Animal off in the Muppet Show, right? It’s on the net, search for it :)
im italian and so its kinda hard to pronounce these words and this helped alot
This is the first time that i have read something like this on the internet, but it is funny. I want to help and say my most used swear word "chupamela la polla" ok "chupamela" is "Suck my dick".
PD:Gracias por enseñarme esta pagina Katelan McCurdy
too much readin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
Me cago en dios, que mierda de exagerados, no toqueis mas los cojones y dejad de dar por culo con eso de que los españoles hablamos mal. Hablamos de puta madre, y al hijo de puta que no le guste que se vaya a mamarla a parla, por tontolculo. He dicho.
Es que los españoles nos creemos el puto ombligo del mundo, cuando somos una puta cagada salida del más pestilente estercolero que haya, incapaces si quiera de hablar nuestra jodida lengua de una manera decente y sin que la estemos jodiendo cada dos por tres, o directamente cagándola a todas o horas, aunque hay que decir a nuestro favor que somos gente de puta madre, y por desgracia también unos putos pringaos desmemoriados, a los que parece que nos gusta que nos la claven doblada, porque no hacen más que jodernos constantemente, y aquí paz y después gloria o como decimos por aquí, nos dicen que llueve y nos están meando. Que les den por el orto y hay que joderse la hostia puta, vaya puta chapa que sus os estoy clavando y [email protected] como buenos pringaos de mierda, andaréis intentando desvelar, qué cojones, qué puto carajo ha puesto aquí este hijo de la grandísima perra, que no hace más que dar la puta murga con sus gilipolleces a estas horas de la noche.
Thank yoy for the oportunity: I was able to leave you a sample of some bullshit usual in my daily speech. Sorry, but not, don't come from the caves.
me encanta este post!!! esta de puta madre!!
por cierto aqui faltan algunos muy famosos:
me cago en dios
me cago en tu puta madre
hijo de puta / hijo de la gran puta
pero teneis toda la razon con el JODER!!!
pero si lo ha puesto, qué coño va a faltar, joder? XD
Here you made a Spaniard laugh out loud xD
But I think I never heard "me cago en todo lo que se menea", it's more like "me cagontó lo que se menea"… you know, they say we speak in blocks: "está cansado" = "ta cansao" and so on.
Hi!
Great post, but it's gilipollas (gili + pollas) ;) . http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual?TIPO_…
Hi!
Great post, but it's gilipollas (gili + pollas) ;) . http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual?TIPO_…
The meaning of Gilipoyas is wrong. It's not about "poya" (dick) but about "pollas" (chicks), and refers to the stupid and posh child of a former minister: Gil : Gil y Pollas, so, the minister and his daughters, and became a way of calling someone stupid ;)
Ya que nadie lo dice lo voy a decir yo:
MALAGE !!!
benitoooo, me cago en todo lo que se menea
and taking advantage of the pisuerga flows through valladolid…. " pero si no le echas agua a la masa, benitooo"
If you want to learn more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFtt3Tgw8VY&fe…
Se escribe PALABROTA, no palobrota.
This is an illustrative video about the 'Hijo de puta' expression: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFtt3Tgw8VY
The video is very didactic.
Acabas de intentar el Spanish Rickrolling. ¡Mis emocionadas felicitaciones!
Jajajajaja! La madre que te parió, que hijo de puta. La recopilación está de puta madre, aunque lo que ha dicho alguien de por ahí de que los sudamericanos también dicen tacos. Pues claro que sí, però tanto como los españoles? Los cojones! A mi me suelen decir que soy muy mal hablada…me hace gracia porque los britanicos también lo son un poco cuando estan en el pub, pero luego piden perdon. En cambio los españoles nos quedamos tan panchos…claro que sí con dos cojones! Con tantos gilipollas y mamones sueltos seria raro no hacerlo. Los tacos…el exemplo más vivo del lenguaje oral.
Hope this helps as a example for what you just have said. Best regards from a Louisiana born girl who is also Spanish, and of course Catalan. By the way, we catalan people swear more than spanish people. :D
Just a tip: it is "gilipollas", not "gilipoyas" ;)
The word "gilipollas" is misspelled. Is not with an Y but with LL.
Nice post.
3. Gilipoyas << wrong the correct way is "gilipollas" gili means silly, fool; polla means dick "gilipollas" "tontopollas" is a synonyms of "gilipollas" both means dickhead,the rest is all correct , greetings from spain ;)
Some other expressions that means "what the fuck":
La virgen puta! (great oximoron). Hostia puta! Pero qué coño!
Something boring:
Un coñazo.
Gay:
Maricón, muerdealmohadas (pillow-biter).
Gilipollas (notice that is written with "ll" not "y". = Soplapollas. Gilipollas means literally silly of the dick.
¿La virgen puta? ¡La puta virgen!
Hijo de puta, hay que decirlo más http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFtt3Tgw8VY
¡Joder! ¡Putos subnormales! Os vais a comer una ostia en to'l morro como sigáis hablando mal.
the third expression ("Gilipoyas"), it's not well written, it should be: "Gilipollas"
Se escribe "gilipoLLas"…
I doubt the latin origin for gilipollas, most probably it comes from the caló (the language of Spanish gypsies) . Gilí means moron in caló so gilipollas is about the same thing as "tonto del culo" with a little change in anatomy.
Enjoy :D
HIJO DE PUTA HAY QUE DECIRLO MÁS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFtt3Tgw8VY
dont missunderstand most of them are only used by spanish (from spain) people
Just in case nobody told… gilipollas is written with "ll" instead of "y".
The origin of Gilipolllas is:
1.- In s. XVI, the young girls was called "Pollas".
2.- In the same century was a mayor, Gil Imón. He was going to meetings of high society with his daughters, this girls was very stupids. When they appears in the meetings the people said " here is Gil y Pollas".
P.S. Sorry for my English
you left "la hostia"
I'm a drunken Spanish girl and I have to say that QUE TE DEN POR CULO is mitical!
Sorry, *It's mitical!
This post is "de puta madre". It makes me laught a lot.
Qué putos cansinos con el gilipollas mal escrito, ya lo han puesto N veces, me cago en la hostia! Efecto Meneame, los gilipollas acuden en masa
Fucking bastards correcting the mispelling of gilipollas N times! Meneame effect attracts these bastards to your website.
Les falto "Puta tu Mierda" cuando te dan un golpe para llorar o "La puta que te pario" como insulto o "Puta Mare!" cuando algo te sale mal o "Huevon!" cuando te refieres a alguien que es un tontonazo… en fin, me guardo muchas mas porque pareceria que estoy "puteando a todo mundo" que se dice cuando estas molesto por algo :)
Pajero se refiere a aquel que se masturba todo el dia como loco. Bueno, es una idea pintoresca en realidad.
In my opinion "Me cago en to lo que se menea" iis an expression invented for a Spanish TV Show called "Manos a la obra". So its usage seems to decrease lately. Nevertheless it's still funny to hear a foreigner to say it!
*saying it.
In Andalucia we say "una polla" aswell. It means literally "a dick" and it's used like "I can't believe it" or to say "no"…
Hmm, I had never thought about it from a foreigner's perpective… qué divertido! PS: se escribe "gilipollas", no "gilipoyas".
If I might, on "gilipoyas": "Poya" is commonly written "polla", and it indeed might be translated as "a hen", the origin of the word (although it is indeed more used as "dick"). The word "gili" (hhi-LI; properly written "gilí") initially meant "fool", but it's been unused for several decades now; commonly, however, "gili" (now HHI-li) is used as an abbreviation of "gilipollas."
Also: Be careful with "puta madre", because it can be also understood as "(your) mother (is a) whore."
Another classic from the south of Spain, just reserved for those special moments "Me cago en todos tus muertos pisoteados por un caballo!"
Just some corrections about the word "gilipollas". The first one: it's written with double L, not with Y. The second one: it's true that's a compound of two words of "gili" and "polla", but the first one comes properly from Caló (the mixture between Spanish and Roma, the language of gypsie people) and means silly, stupid.
Read this article in spanish to learn the origin of "GILIPOLLAS" http://es.globedia.com/origen-palabra-gilipollas
hi there, i'm from Spain. i just talk about "Gilipollas"… "Son" is "fillo" in latin, who turned into "hijo" in spanish… "daughter = filla = hija"… possibles origins of "gilipollas" here:
http://etimologias.dechile.net/?gilipollas
i had heard the "Gil y pollas" version ("polla" was young girl or young chicken in old times. Now the meaning is dick or cock… what a change!!! ;P) but it seems to be 2 versions more…
¡¡¡Saludos a todos!!!
¡que te den por culo!
¡coño!
¡hostia!
very useful.
Cojones is used in hundreds of expressions. Take a look of that.100% real Spaniard vocabulary, wrote by a famous Spaniard writer. http://www.decalpe.com/index.php/otrascosas/70-pa…
Joder!!!… yo pensé, tíos, que los españoles hablábamos así por una moda originada en las películas de Will Smith y Whoopi Goldberg… Me cago en la puta!!! me hacéis muy feliz al asegurar que son ellos los que nos han copiado.
Jaja i lived in Spain and i couldnt laugh more
Great post
Gilipollas is written this way. In my country, is a regular expression "Me cago en Dios". I Shit on God…influence of de miners in the north of Spain and their relationship with the Catholic Church
Good note, i'm spanish and everything is correct :) but, "gilipoyas" is mispelled, correctly is "gilipollas"
You didn´t undestand it at all… sorry but i think you are completly wrong with most of the meanings.. Most of them we say in a funny way like "que cabron" it´s like what a lucky man…
Only foreign people use them all time, foreign people think that if they use them then they know spanish if is very fun to listen them.
Creo que el español es mas complejo de lo que has explicado aunque lo has echo con bastante acierto, muchas de esas palabrotas pueden ser tanto adjetivos calificativos como descalificativos según el contexto
Look at this, it's about the word cojones. By a famous Spaniard writer. http://www.decalpe.com/index.php/otrascosas/70-pa…
If you translate the text of Reverte about cojones you can publish it. It could be Reddit stuff.
You forget the gipsy courses…
¡Ojalá te veas como un chorizo, colgado y con las tripas por fuera!, or ¡Ojalá te veas como una bombilla, colgado y con las tripas ardiendo!, or my favourite: ¡Ojalá te tragues un paraguas cerrado y lo cagues abierto!
Spanish is a very rich language, I understan that it is very hard to foreigners.
Buenos días!
In Spain, the first ninja turtles movie ends with the quartet met with Master Splinter and he says "Siempre habia querido decir esto… de puta madre!" ("I always wanted to say this … fucking mother!") while all hands high "4". Marked a generation ^^.
Sorry for my english, que cojones, que os jodan xD
This is fucking good!! XD XD
Brilliant, man!
We've got such a rich language for insulting someone, foreigner football players who have ever played in Spain keep on insulting in Spanish :) Of course, much better than other south american insults…
Just one "but" it is gilipollas, with LL instead of Y.
You, writer!
First of all, I have no idea if you're a fucking writer, journalist or whatever. But the least you could do is write correctly the words you're talking about. For instance, it's not "palobrotas" but "palAbrotas", since it comes from the word "palabra" which means "word".
Second of all, you've no idea in which context these "palAbrotas" are used. The examples you're giving are poor and vague.
Third of all, I have to admit that you wrote something which is true that is exactly why I don't understand the whole point in writing this piece of "mierda" (you already know what that means, don't you?). British, Irish and Italian people swear a lot more than Spaniards do, so… why don't you write about them and this time you try to write a good article?
¡Que te den! (Go fuck yourself!)
Oh, and it's not "gilipoyas" but "gilipoLLas", gilipollas!
Comeme los huevos como si fuese un racimo de uvas ( Eat my balls like a bunch of grapes)
Pasa mas leche por tu madre que por central lechera asturiana ( "central lechera asturiana" is a milk brand, leche is milk , use for cum too, so means that your mother eats more cum than a milk factory)
Que te den por culo ! ( fuck you up in the ass)
Pedazo maricon! ( Big gay)
It's spelled 'gilipollas'. Well, what should I expect, you can't even spell 'testicles' in your own language (your wrote 'testicals')
Woah… Greetings from Spain, great article ! But be careful, these words should be used only in a casual register. Of course they are not suitable in formal situations, or with people you don't know well, it is very easy to offend someone with that expressions.
See ya, guys !
soy español, y me cago en vuestra puta madre
Do you really think Spaniards talk shit like that all the time?
My parents are from Spain, I can speak Spanish perfectly and I spend half year in Spain, half year in the States and I can tell that they don't swear that often. Except for rude people, of course! But that happens everywhere!
The correct word is "Gilipollas", no Gilipoyas. You must investigate a litte bit more.
Ahh, I love my language. Spanish is the best for swearing, and if any one disagrees…
¡Que me coma las pelotas a botijillo!
Sorry:
Gilipollas es con dos eles no con “y”.
My english is poor, but i try:
gilipollas is whit “ll” not with “y”
Gilipoyas (y) is not correct.
Gilipollas is OK.
You can you see it i http://www.rae.es (Real Academia Española)
Thanks guys for the correction! I\’ll make the changes now!
Y una polla como la manga de un abrigo!
Hey Nelly, besides all the people saying “in my country/region we swear more” or “wo, you missed this one” the list is pretty cool! Actually a lot of my foreign friends tell me that I shouldn’t speak that bad when I speak english, but I guess I’m just too used to my mother tongue :P
Sólo una cosa en cuanto a la ortografía:
GilipoLLas: http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual?TIPO_…
Dick = PoLLa http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?t…
Ok, I'm spanish, some warnings: the use of these words is very tricky and they also change according to the region (hostia being popular in Barcelona and absolutely disgusting in other parts, converserly with mierda (shit), in general, the curse words form part of the culture so foreigners are not expected to use them and if they do so, usually sounds to us more unpolite than if it were a spanish person saying the same. Beware the reactions of spaniards when hearing you curse these words, most would laugh, but think you are really bad educated or too rough
There are a lot more than those, and I would like to add one I really like: ¡A tomar por culo!. I always laugh when I hear it… Its translation should be something similar to Fuck it! We use it when something someone's trying to do hasn't got the effect he/she wanted to have.
Examples: You explain your friend the directions he/she has to take while driving, but he/she does the opposite thing… ¡A tomar pot culo!
You are organizing some papers on a table, but forgot to close the window before starting and the wind takes all of them to the ground again… ¡A tomar por culo!
You're out with some friends, drinking beers, when you start feeling a bit tipsy and you see guy is staring at you, you think: ¡A tomar por culo, voy a hablar con él!
Enjoy our fantastic language!!!
LOs Españoles ponen tacos en todas las expresiones, no suelo hablar con palabrotas pero admito que somos muy mal habladores
Muy mal, muy mal, se escribe giliPOLLAS, no “giliPOYAS”. Un cero patatero en gramática, oiga usted.
Hay que ser gilipollas para escribir gilipollas con y.
Consiento que los españoles tienen un uso abusivo de vocabulario pero no creo que seamos los mayores cuando en la cultura americana los insultos están a la orden del dia tan solo hay que mirar la televisión americana o cualquier barrio que no sea el Upper east side de New York. Y aunque yo tenga este pensamiento no ando haciendo post sobre el uso despectivo del americano me parece despectiva y una manera muy fácil de generalizar, gran fallo en esta sociedad actual. Atentamente un español que no habla mal del todo.
hi! here an spanish getting this list bigger with a few more palabrotas (traduction: big words):
– chupamela: suck my dick
– huevos: mean eggs but also means nutballs. Its very used like "a lot" and pronunced harder with the "hu" like a "w" (webo). It takes me a lot: me cuesta un webo. its very informal. another: "tener los huevos de corbata"= to be scared… literally it means to have your nutballs as a tie.
– imbecil: very used…just the same meanning as tonto or gilipollas
– subnormal: another one… the prefijo "sub-" means under and normal doesnt need to be traduced…so it means retarded
-capullo:dont know where this comes from…its just like imbecil
cojones: again this means nutballs like the admin said. "me importa un cojon/mierda"= it minds me a nutball/shit" . "acojonar" = make someone get scared.
– ostia: is the name of that oblea that you can eat on the church but we use it as a…mmm i dont know how to say it. when you fight someone and you win you say "le meti una ostia" ostia = porrazo = golpe. you can also use it like mierda when you use it with puta. "ostia puta!"
umz…i think this would never end…i hope you enjoy it. adioooos cabroooneeesssss me cago en la puta que os pario mamonazos que os falta un herbor mongoloooosss aaaajajajajjaja me cago en vuestros muertos y en toda vuestra familia subnormales que me vais a comer la pollaaaa. Si os veo por la calle os parto la cara y me importa una mierda si venis todos juntos a por mi!! sabeis por que?? eh?? quereis saberlo??? POR QUE ME SEGUIRE CAGANDO EN VUESTRASS PUTAAS MADREEEEEESSSS UUAUAAAAHAHAJJAJAJAJAJJAJAAJAJJ
hi people in the spain there are a sentence that its very good: "Que te den por culo" is like if you said " you go to the shit" in spain hahahaha!!!!!
All I can say is that only unpolite and rude people swear like that. It is not as common as everybody thinks by reading this.
Cabron is a husband who beats his wife, nothing to do with what is written here. In a time it used to be word for bad people but, somehow for a very "macho man".
very important "me cago en tu puta madre"
very important "palabrotas" for women are:
guarra, zorra, puta: bitch.
calientapollas: a women who likes to put men hot, but they never fuck…just warming…
Muy bueno!!! pero solo te pongo una pega, ¡Los cojones!: sólo a una minoría le gusta los toros en España. pero el resto está perfecto y muy divertido
Hahaha i've laughed a lot with this. So true! (i'm Spaniard)
Actually I think you should create a full post about all the uses of "Cojones" because it's far from being only one — just as Puta Madre, it can be either good or bad.
When you let a place running without time: " me voy cagando leches "
yo me cago en todas vuestras putas madres (y muertos pisoteaos) porque sois unos gilipollas de mierda. Joder, pero qué mal me caéis todos. Iros a tomar por el puto culo
:D
pretty accurate!
I'd say "Gili" means tonto in spanish. For example, if you say "Ese tío es un gil", you mean "That man is a moron".
Good list BTW, although ¡COÑO! is not listed :P
You are straightly alright about all, only a few precissions,
It is disputed, but “gili” is thought by many to come from ancient gypsy language, not Latin, but perfectly maybe Latin (filii > hili > gili). Further, a gilipollas is someone who is stupid (or have done any stupidity) and he/she is deeply conscious about it, making him/her unhappy. I think this nuance are not shared by any english word, as far as I know (not so much, of course).
“Hostia” is as common as “joder” (or even more, it depens on many matters), which literally means “(holy) host”. “Cagando hostias” (lit. shitting hosts over and over) means do something inmediatly, with no delay.
“Coño” (lit. cunt) is very common yet. In fact, it is somewhat Spaniards pronounced the punctuation marks, pronouncing the comma as “coño” or the dot as “joder”.
My favorite one is “me cago hasta en tu putísima madre” (I *even* shit all over your fucking / fucked mother).
Don’t forget “a tomar por culo” (go be assfucked), with a large range of meanings, from “very far, far away place” (“está a tomar por culo”, it is a fucking billion miles far) to “totally messed situation” (“a tomar por culo todo”), with the classical “vete a tomar por culo” (go be assfucked, i.e. fuck you).
Good post!
Oh, they are not just swear words, they are a way of living. i think that you can make a list of 40 or 50 swear words and even make a top ten different swear words in each spanish city. My fav is "que te den por culo" makes you feel fine when u're angry or makes a situation funny when u're being pissed by sb.
greets from spain!
besame el culo… kiss my buje
"Gilipollas" more likely comes from the greek – I have a whole theory on this subject: http://davidllada.com/blog/2011/01/27/gilipollas-…
I really enjoyed your post, specially being a Spaniard myself. In my region, Asturias, we even have another word for them: instead of "palabrotas", we say…. "cagamentos" :-))
Cagamentos! It\’s the first time I\’m hearing that, interesting! So what other vulgarities do you frequently use in Asturias? I\’d love to do a post on the different swear words used in various Spanish regions.
We have a rich vocabulary in general, not only vulgarity words. Using swear words to speak is not elegant. Only we have to use to express better a bad felling but not frequently in normal use. Unfortunately, it is very common or acepted to say that words. Sometimes couse of the speaker don’t know express himself with another alternative words.
Note: “Gilipollas” is wrote with “ll” not with “y”.
Sinonimes of “gilipollas” are “imbécil”, “subnormal”, “retrasado”, “pringado”.
Excellent article!
You explained it very well! It´s not that people from South America and México don´t have as much bad words and nasty expressions as we have in Spain. We share a lot of them but we Spanish use them much more often. I have friends from Peru, Colombia, México, El Salvador, Panama … and they all get very surprised about how Spanish use these bad words for almost everything.
However I must warn you that it won´t be a good idea to say these three in front of your mother and it will be a real offense for most of grandfathers and grandmothers.
Me cago en Dios! – I have a shit in god!
Hostia! – Host!
Copón! – This is the large cup where the priest puts the hosts.
It´s also important that in the different communities of Spain we don´t use them the same. I´ll give you two examples.
In Andalucía is very common to hear the word Chocho! (Pussy!) Referring to a girl! And it´s ok for most of them. But don´t ever tell Chocho to a girl in Navarra or Basque Country because she will give you a good “hostia” (we also use these one for punch).
And as I said Me cago en Dios! is one of the strongest, but not for the Basque Country. They spend most of the day having a shit on god while in Andalucía is much more offensive.
And remember that in Spain your best friend is the biggest cabrón, hijo puta, maricón (gay), desgraciado (unlucky), malnacido (these means he is a very bad person), chupa poyas, retrasado (retarded), sopla gaitas (one of the good ways of calling him sucker). And you can remember that to him every time you believe he is forgetting about it (Which is about every 3 minutes).
hey Morte, great insights! Love how you Spaniards refer to your best friend as the biggest cabrón, hijo puta, maricón etc. ;) It never fails to make me laugh. My husband is from Granada – so you can imagine the amount of palabrotas I hear on a daily basis. It intrigues me even more than the palabrota you use differs according to which part of Spain you\’re from! That\’s true ingenuity. Which part of Spain are you from? I\’d love to hear more palabrotas from various regions in Spain. Cheers. ;)
Ooh, excelente, me he reído muchisimo. Al autor del post, te lo has currado mucho, todo bien explicado y con el significado correcto. Me gustaría recalcar que no todo el día estamos diciendo palabrotas eh, hablamos un poco mal, pero no somos tan maleducados… jajajaja
English translate by google :P
Ooh, excellent, I laughed a lot. The author of the post, I've carefully worked a lot, all well explained and the correct meaning. I would like to stress that not every day we are swearing eh, we talked a little bad, but we are not so rude … jajajaja
Regards!!!
Hola Fran! Muchas gracias por el comentario. La verdad me encantan las palabrotas españolas y la manera que las usáis. Claro, no sois maleducados, lo se. ;) Bueno, ya que este post os he hecho gracias, estoy pensando en escribir otro post relacionado a este tema. No te lo pierdas! Besos. ;)
I though the word "ostia" or "ostia puta" was widely used in Spain. At least where I used to live.
¡Está de puta madre!
There is an expression that, if you tell to somebody anywhere in the world, you will probably be killed by your target.
ME CAGO EN TU PUTA MADRE!!
This expression has something, I don't know what, that is very offensive. It means something like: I have a shit on you hooker mother.
Me cago en la leche puta!!! I shit in the fucking milk
bésame el culo – kiss my ass
Cuando te piden dinero (when someone ask you for money) Qué te crees que cago billetes de 50(euros)? What do u think? i dont shit 50 euros doughs.
Chúpamela!!(Suck (my dick)its used as "los cojones!!"
Vete a tomar por culo!! up your ass!!
Es mi mejor amigo. Es un hijo puta…He's my best friend , he's a motherfucker.(hijo puta as "awesome")
muy interesante…
ahora casi casi deberiamos hacer otro post con las traducciones literales (vease traductores google,etc) de los tacos en español pasados al ingles…
jajaja
muy buen articulo
saludos
Hi man! You forgot "que te den por culo", I suppose u know it's meaning!! ;)
Did someone in all these comments mention the BIG DIFFERENCE between:
– ¡¡Deja de tocarte los huevos!! (stop being so lazy, get up the soffa, work, do something!)
– ¡¡Deja de tocarme los huevos!! (stop fucking me, stop bothering me, bastard!)
It's really a big difference between the reflexive verb TOCAR-SE LOS HUEVOS, and the normal verb TOCAR LOS HUEVOS (A ALGUIEN).
You have to be really carefull with that one, like the difference between
– DE puta madre (mind-blowing thing, I really like this, hoorray)
– TU puta madre (fuck you bastard)
HAHA. Like your post. Quiet nice for people actually staying some time in Spain like myself. You just forgot one I often encounter here in the east of Spain. Chupa mi polla! You say it if you think something like ´go fuck yourself´. A classic here!
hijo de puta translates to "son of a whore"
hijo de perra transtales to "son of a bitch"
chinga tu madre "motherfucker" or " fuck your mother"
and finally if we put them all together……..que guey? vete a la chingada hijo de tu perra puta madre, si y chinga tu madre tambien puto. = "what idiot? go to hell, you son of a bitch ass whore, yeah and fuck your mother too faggot.
Well, this is such a great resource! I must pass this along to all my english speaking friend who are visiting or will visit Spain, that way they can have a little fun of their own!
it's reallty interesting!!!! ;), :D
It's alright. I see you're quite used to the spanish language! xD Anyway, I identify some of the cusses more with the south than with the north. I'm from the north and I usually use "joder", "mierda" or "de puta madre". Plus, I would say that number 6. could be simplified to "Me cago en [any Noun Phrase connected with your trouble]". "¡Me cago en la leche (or "cagoenlaleche")!" is veeeeeery common too!
Maybe you could come up with a Master Thesis with this xD
Yes Im from Venezuela, when i was in Argentina, everybody was calling me "hija de puta" (daughter of a bitch) and i was very insulted, however Verga (dick), Coño (pussy) and Mierda (shit), are very normaly used here, to refer to any person, object or situation hehehe. One very use its "Que de bolas!" (what big balls you have, or how dare you?) and Mama huevo (Ball sucker) as they said before.
Im from Venezuela and my boyfriend is Turkish and we had a big fight, when he saw one of my conversations with a venezuelan friend, he used the google translator and was thinking i was going to fuck some dicks and pussys haha, i will show him this page so he finally understands :D
Thats a funny story! Such language mishaps always amuse me. ;) Thanks for sharing Daniela!
This is wierdddd. :)
Hehe, a very funny list.
It's true that there are many swear words in spanish, hundreds. And they can be combined in any imaginable way.
Anyway, you should maybe put more emphasis on the fact that you have to know when, where and with whom you can use them. I've already seen more than once foreigners getting in trouble or in akward situations by saying things like "tu puta madre" ('your fucking mother') when trying to say "de puta madre" ('this is fucking great!') .
haha an excellent example! It\’s amazing that \”de puta madre\” and \”tu puta madre\” may seem the same, but they make a whole world of difference!
Está de puta madre lo que has colgado, es la hostia, me he descojonado leyéndolo. Seguro que viene algún hijo de puta a tocar los huevos a dos manos con gilipolleces de que si él habría puesto no sé qué cojones o de que en su tierra se usa vete tú a saber qué mierdas… ¡Pero a esos que les den por culo! A mi me suda la polla lo que digan, y me imagino que a ti también te la trae floja.
Awesome. your post is AMAZING. i totally agree with the person who asked y they cant teach that at skool. wow, now i cn cuss at that latino dude who pisses me off…
thank you. I won a fight against a guy and he was stupid and didnt understand what i was saying to him. I'm 11 and he was 17! :D
pinche hijo de puta!!
these ten arent right!do the reaserch again gringos im mexican i would know!
I haven't thought about it… but you're f***ing right! It's funny how people in Spain use swear words in such a positive way. They can use them both to insult you or to tell you that you're great! It is difficult not to swear when speaking Spanish in the street.. it's part of the language itself.
Fundamentals, but yes, most points are forgotten by most people eventually, thanks for refreshing the basics..
Gilipollas
Gili = tonto
Tonto de la polla
I cannot believe you did NOT include "coño" !
there also exists "me cago en la mar salada" (I shit on the salty ocean) i use this one a lot! and you wrote very little ones, there are much more!!! one typicall spanish conversation : joder ayer fui a una fiesta que estaba de putisima madre, tio! -chupa pollas! y no me invitaste, gilipollas! -hijo de puta, me cago en to' me vulves a decir eso y te arranco los huevos (yeah, it can be like that!)
This helps a ton! now i can know waht those jerks in my class that i teach are saying and cuss back at them all under my breath! they are jerks those spanish kids with spikey hair and annoying how they dont even care about grades or failure they have no goals!
:D este post esta de puta madre… es La polla.
Que coñazo que te tengan que enseñar los putos verdos de mierda en el colegio, pero esto es la coña, joder!
que gilipollas el que posteó esto.
.
.
.
tonto del culo hehehe (:
omg I don't now how I got here, but I'm Spanish and I have to say I couldn't stop laughing at this! It's so right, we curse far too much!
But thanks for making me have such a great time reading this! :P
jajaja
Jajajaja
I'm very familiar with Hijo de puta. Since the Philippines was also colonized by Spaniards, we use a lot of Spanish words too. "Yudiputa" as short-cut, is used positively and negatively, as an exaggeration for something so good and as an expression of anger..widely used in Negros Occidental and Panay provinces of the Philippines..seems the strongest of the swear words. "Yudipuga" is a variation..to make the impact lighter. :D
Hahaha yudipuga this post is fun!! :D
Gracias Apola! Oh yes my Filippino friends often tell me about the Spanish vulgarities they use. You also use the Spanish numbers to count, dont you?
yes yes! :D

I’m really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays.
Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog
jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Thanks a lot

Great! Thanks for the information. Spanish language is not that hard to learn and I find it really interesting. It's ideal if you know how to speak Spanish especially when you are traveling all around the world.
I grew up in an inner city with a very densely populated with Hispanics, mainly Peurto Ricans. Cabrón is *anything* but "mild". I've seen fights break out over its use.
Even two close friends know enough not to call one or the other a cabrón.
Im a superviser of alot of Mexican ppl and I’m tired of being the punch line to every joke they come out with and I want to surprise them with alittle of there on language !!! Can u help me ?
Thank you very much for the information . I will use this against all the mexican kids at school that constantly harrass me . Thanks :)
This is a pretty naughty post! I've learned a fair bit of spanish, but never how to swear – perhaps my overly polite Canuck demeanour? :P perhaps just laziness! ha
ha! Swear words were the first things my Spanish husband taught me when we met! ;)
It appears u truly understand a good deal about this particular topic
and that exhibits with this excellent post, titled “Top 10 Spanish swear words – Wild Junket”.

I’ve been browsing online more than three hours lately, but I never found any fascinating article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the internet will likely be much more helpful than ever before.
I use Colombian Spanish, as I have lived in Colombia. "Gillipollas" is not used. Rather, instead of gillipollas,, what you hear is "pendejo." In Latin America, especially Colombia and Venezuela pendejo is used. You will not hear gillipollas.
Another expression you hear mostly in Mexico and Central America is the verb "chingar," "Chinga tu madre" means "fuck your mother." You will also hear "chinga tu madre, hijo de puta." I've also heard Mexicans say "chingale" or "fuck it.".
Go to Caracas, Venezuela and you will hear the expression "no joda" used a lot. It is used as "oh fuck" or "don't screw or fuck around." It is one of the most common expressions used in both Colombian and Venezuelan Spanish. Also, Colombians use "hijo de puta" top express surprise, disgust, or anger, and it is very commonly heard. For example, get stuck in rush hour traffic in Bogotá and "hijo de puta" will be uttered multiple times.
Another vulgar expression I have never heard in Spain, but hear a lot in Colombia is "estoy mamado." It means "I am tired.," but translates as "I am sucked off",: or "I am sucked dry" "Estoy más mamado que un chupo de guardería." It means I am as used up ("as sucked off") as a daycare pacifier.
Thanks! Great stuff & funny
But Joder isn't hard here in Colombia,because means disturb,for example if you want to say here no joda,it means don't disturb.In return if you say puto de mierda or gonorrea con ojos wooo.Really it's hard.There means bitch of shit and gonorrhea with eyes.
I love finding out the literal translation for common offensive phrases in languages other than English.. so hilarious! – Thanks for the extensive background of each of them.. makes it much better to use them :P
Howdy! I just want to give an enormous thumbs up for the great info you have here on this blog.
I will be returning in your website for further information in the near future.
I am a Spaniard and this is just hilarious! I have read it like 4 times only today and still laugh when I read it. Exceptionally writen and very well explained. I have just forwarded it to a British colleague who is doing a roadtrip in Spain this week. I am sure it will help! Great great article.

Me ha encantado vuestro articulo y me ha sabido a poco pero ya sabeis lo que dice el dicho “si lo bueno es breve es dos veces bueno”. Me gustara volver a leeros de nuevo.
Saludos
Thank you! Fantastic way to explain it.
Thanks Nellie, I think I can talk to my Spanish mother now, sorry I mean "poo-tah madre" :-)
Hah! I really enjoyed this post. Spanish swear words are by far the funnest to say in my opinion. They just roll of the tongue somehow! Thanks!
HALF of these are not suitable for swearing at Mexican people. Half are Spanish (from Spain) and some are Argentinean or Colombian. "tu puta madre", "hijo de puta" and "mierda" are Mexican, while the others will not be understood by Mexican people if you swear at them. Trust me, I'm Mexican.
