Learning Spanish from your tattered old phrase book? Hardly rock n’roll. Let’s head more towards the drugs and sex side of things and inject some fun into your travel experiences abroad. Three phrases certain to get you noticed? Read on:
The Dog’s B*llocks
Nevermind the Sex Pistols, here’s one sure-fire phrase that’s guaranteed to earn you a few slaps on the back and a few more cervezas in any Spanish watering hole of your choice. “Cojonudo”, which translates as “testicle”, is a particular favourite among young people who want to express just how cool some of the finer aspects of their life are. Best used in the context: “ese es un articulo cojonudo” or “this is a [f*cking] good article”. Use liberally.
How You Doing Vagina?
Growing up in a country where men fear vaginas and any reference to them (the good ol’ Victorian legacy of the UK) this one took quite the change in mentality to enter my every day vernacular. You won’t find this one learning Spanish from any textbook, yet “Coño”, which more or less refers to female’s lady bits, is rife in the conversations of both men and women in Spain. Best used in the context: “¿Quién coño es esta autora?” or “who the hell is this author?” Take it easy with this one.
Blasphemous Little Tyke
Due to Spain’s deeply rooted Catholic past some words have morphed into quite interesting and colorful ways of expression. One of those, “hostia”, actually refers to the communion wafer of a Catholic service but is now more commonly used as a swear word or threat. If you’re learning Spanish you’ll definitely want to add this one to your repertoire. Best used in the context: “¡Es la hostia!” or “it’s the bloody limit”.
Next time you find yourself kicking back in a Spanish bar or pub and fancy giving yourself more of a Spanish bad-boy (or girl) edge, why not give some of these a whirl?
