on Gringo Lingo, Swearing

 

Hello, to all those venturing forth into the land beyond Oz. If you’re going to be spending some time here in Buenos Aires, you should know both how to tell if you’re being cussed out and how to do it yourself, if the situation were ever to arise. Here is part one of some easy guidelines to help you on your way to verbally expressing your pissed-off emotions or to understanding the emotions of an angry Porteño.

Phrase Direct Translation Our Best Actual Translation
Anda cagar! Go shit! Go fuck yourself!
Anda cagar forro! Go shit condom! Go fuck yourself asshole!
No seas forro! Don’t be condom! Don’t be an asshole!!
Hijo de mil puta! Son of a thousand whores! You god damn son of a bitch!
Anda a la concha de tu madre! Go to your mother’s cunt Go fuck your mother!
La puta que te parió! The whore that gave birth to you Fuck you and your mom’s a ho!
Que boludo! What a slow witted individual! What a dumb ass!
Sos un cagón! You’re a big shitter! You chickenshit!

Now, mix and match them to come up with some of your own to use on that special person.
