Hi to all those venturing forth into the land beyond Oz. If you’re going to be spending some time here, you should know both how to tell if you’re being cussed out and how to do it yourself, if the situation is to ever arise. Here is part four of some easy guidelines to help you on your way to verbally express your pissed off emotions or to understand emotions of an angry Porteño.
| Phrase | Direct Translation | Our Best Actual Translation |
| Me da lo mismo! | It gives me the same! | Whatever! |
| Ni en pedo! | Neither in fart! | No friggin’ way! |
| Que buena mina! | What good mine! | What a babe! |
| Me chupa un huevo! | It sucks me an egg! | I could give two shits! |
| Suck me an egg! | Chupame un huevo! | Blow me! |
Now, mix and match them to come up with some of your own to use on that special person.

17/04/2009 - 2:00 pmHi Paul,
Quick correction in translating 'Me chupa un huevo!' – It sucks one of my eggs
If you want to say blow me- Chupamela or Chupala
Here is another one that I hear quite often
Eres un/(a) mogolic(o/a) Translation you (referring to he or she) are a mongoloid or better know as "retard" or retarded (not the brightest tool in the shed)
Hope this helps

19/04/2009 - 4:33 pm@ Paul Here is my favorite "No me delires o te voy a cagar a palos negro cumbiero" "Anda metete la birra en el horto simberguenza"
Translate that one Paul. Thanks for the laugh
PS I would love to say that to a State Trooper back home.
paul
19/04/2009 - 7:16 pmnever heard that one before, but thanks for your thoughts…
my favorite still remains: anda cagar! it basically says it all.
cheers!

19/04/2009 - 11:31 pm"No me delires o te voy a cagar a palos, negro cumbiero" = don't bullshit me or i'll kick the shit out of you, you cumbia nigger
"Andá a meterte la birra en el orto, sin vergüenza" = Go stick this beer up your ass, you cheeky slag
although nobody really uses "sin vergüenza" nowadays… caradura is much more used.
cheers!

23/07/2009 - 3:23 amuhm.. just one correction
with "ni en pedo" it does not mean "neither in fart", literally, as the expression "en pedo" in slang is the same as "drunk", meaning you are not too conscious.. when saying "ni en pedo" it means that you would not do it even if you were drunk (which is a far condition considering you use it when sober).
paul
23/07/2009 - 12:48 pmthanks, val! i'll keep this in mind…but it is meant to be a literal translation…and "pedo" is fart. i've been EN PEDO a lot so i'm aware of its proper use.
thanks for reading..hope you enjoyed them…
chau..or should i say Chow…

02/09/2009 - 4:34 pmI thought mina was slang for kitten or pussy. Meaning "what a fine pussy". My Argentine wife won't let me use it offhand anymore as we have 2 daughters but we say 'Ni en pedo' as val describes it everday.

02/08/2010 - 7:35 am"NI EN PEDO", should be translated as "not even drunk" (no fucking way,no way Josè)
because PEDO , in that context, doesnt refer to farting, but to being drunk
"estaba en pedo" means he/she was overdrunk
