Bit strange actually, a client of mine is a risk assessor for the Gov and he his company has put companies on the highest grade warning for a terror attack. It may come to nothing but its odd that it should be such a high warning. |

Fiancee is Argentinean,she assures me it does not mean dwarf,it generally means "idiot","dumbass" or "jerkoff",its the LATAM equivalent of calling someone a w***er in English. Mexicans also use the term for the same meaning,they also use it in the the same way some of my black friends use "n***er",as in "Leugo,mi pendejo":) |

"Penedejo" has a lot of meanings depending on which Spanish speaking country you come from:)

Now I remember that " pendejo " doesn't mean the same thing in all the south america countries. In the case of Argentina is a word for somebody young, of little age (but in Mexico already is more serious, seems an insult). In Argentina it is not insult, except when it is used with the word " de mierda ", then if it is an insult. The sentence " de mierda " denotes scorn, here or in any country of south america

They will call me, among other things...............a Pendejo!! |
Re: Shock at racist Spanish!!
My argentinian cousins use pendejo as teenager, without peyorative intention, and also as an insult, so you can be both right. Funnily enough, the proper meaning of pendejo, in old castillian, is pubic or armpit hair :eek:

Better English translation would be the adjective f@#$ing. As in Cabron de mierda would not translate as 'Oh sh1t a ba$tard' but 'f@#$ing ba$tard' |
Re: Shock at racist Spanish!!
There's a lot of leakage between the varieties of Spanish, I guess.
How about 'Gillipollas' instead? |
