Translation: Bloody hell, the police are coming! Hide! Be careful with this one, friends, you may have some friends on high who don’t approve.Įxample: ¡Hostia, llega la policía! ¡Escondámonos! Do not be fooled, as hostia as a curse can be translated as “bloody hell” or “damn” in English. One of the most popular blasphemes in Spanish culture is hostia, a slang term literally referring to the body of Christ, as well as the “host”, the wafer given out during Holy Communion. – I’m going to take a dump on anything that moves. Do not worry, you will be hailed as a hero for your potty-talk. Try using Me cago en… at the beginning of each sentence. Note: A surprising number of Spanish profanities involve defecating. Me cago en todo lo que se menea is the perfect insult when you’re irritated, annoyed and literally ready to “s*** on anything that moves”. Spanish can be scatological – we know because the Cagatió told us so. *Note: we definitely aren’t making reference to our online Spanish course Hotel Borbollón. Do not take this insult lightly.Įxample: ¡ Qué gonorrea este curso de español! Is it because it refers to one of the world’s most virulent STDs? Perhaps, but Spanish speakers use it to describe an unpleasant or dirty situation and/or person. Gonorrea is one of Latin America’s most popular swear words, and we have a burning desire to know why. Warning: NSFW, or should we say “Not safe for trabajo”? Probably not because that’s nonsense. The Gymglish team has delicately selected five Spanish swear words we hope will both shock and delight you.
If you’re thinking of making the sacred choice of learning Spanish, we suggest you start with the profane.
