Getting explicit: Your guide to how to swear like a Spaniard


All these expressions sound very vulgar in English but in Spanish they're so common most recipients would barely bat an eyelid. The Spanish C-word, much more socially acceptable than in English-speaking countries, is also used to express everything from surprise to indignation: ¡Coño!. Although the word for a fart in Spanish is pedo, the expressions are a colloquial way of saying 'to be drunk'. But the most common superlative in colloquial Spanish is 'de puta madre', which means great or awesome. It can also be used as an adverb: juega de puta madre - he plays really well.
