When we are upset in Spain, to show anger "nos cagamos en todo..."
"me cago en mar"
"me cago en la mar salada"
"me cago en todo lo que se menea"
"me cago en tu madre/padre"
"me cago en la puta"
"me cago en la puta de oros"
"me cago en la leche"
"me cago en tus muelas"
"me cago en todo"
and so on...

for example, when you are waiting for a package and you dont get it "me cago en la oficina de correos"

i have noticed that, when speaking English, you never write a rude word with all the letters, i mean, you always put some letters and ***, why? Here, in Spain, when we wanted to say something we say it with all the letters, its curious

The forum has a filter Marisol, so even if you type the word, the xxx's appear.

Thank you Marisol - you're very kind. My house is just up the road from yours on manzana 6 but I don't believe we have been there at the same time in order for us to meet! Perhaps this year?
