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 eight of some easy guidelines to help you on your way to verbally express your pissed-off emotions or to understand the emotions of an angry porteño.
| Phrase | Literal Translation | Our Best Actual Translation |
| Me da paja hacer eso | It gives me hay to do that | I don’t feel like doing that |
| Ella es una calienta pija | She is a dick warmer | She’s a cock tease |
| Tiene más culo que cabeza | He has more ass than head | He’s one lucky fucker |
| El no da pie con bola | He does not give foot to ball | He’s one unlucky bastard |
| Me fue para el culo | It went for the asshole | It went like crap |
Now, mix and match them to come up with some of your own to use on that special person.

I use the lunfardo/English dictionary Mataburros by Sara Melul & Roberto Cruanas for making sense out of many phrases. The expressions chapter is invaluable for this.
Paja is masturbation, according to Mataburros.
