Yes and no.

No me suda la polla = It doesn't bother me

me suda la polla = it DOES bother me.

Yes. In Spanish, especially (in my experience) in Andalucia, there is a savage tentancy to drop letters.

Joder > joer, pesado > pesao. Past participles are very prone to it.

The letter s goes as well, so gusta > guta and so on.

Don`t really think you should try telling a Spaniard how to speak his language.

Sweet of you to mention it.

No I am not telling him how to do anything. I am merely commenting on what has been my experience with that expression.

So tell me do. How exactly are you blessed with the knowledge that the gentleman in question knows every thing about every phrase in every area of Spain?

Is it because you are blessed with a complete and perfect knowledge of English? If so, please feel free to confirm. Otherwise you just look silly.

The rest of us are bright enough to realise that there is a lot of variation within a language. In my experience, in Spain the variation can be huge within comparatively small distances.

Sorry but you are wrong,

me suda/me la suda means it does not bother me. As in I dont give a Sh it.
THERE IS NO "NO" IN IT.
You will not find it used as, NO me suda la polla.

Google it and see for yourself, if you dont belive me.


I have never claimed to be perfect in any language, but I do try to put things right from time to time when I see mistakes that can easily be sorted.
I am not the grammar or spelling police and know what it is like to learn another language.

Most of my learning came from being corrected, and was glad of it.
But, hey, I can keep my bits of knowledge to myself, NO PROBLEM

JLFS,

you could be right about mishearing, or he might just have a very sweaty "do dah", which alters his perception of things.
