Guest Major Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Que Pinga and Oye are my two favourite Cuban/Spanish words. In England we use 'oi' in the same context as 'oye' and American 'yo'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the vaguest answers when I ask people directly WTF that means.corño or coño?Well I guess I'm not even sure what I'm hearing but I hear it all the time. I'm not picking on Cubans but the stereotypical Cuban accent doesn't involve good annunciation. I get the idea that it's a null word that doesn't really mean anything? Something like "darn" or "damn"? I just always wonder if the literal meaning is something vulgar so I don't go anywhere near that word in my feeble attempts to hablo español.I've tried to look it up myself but the Internet has a big fat blind spot with Cuba right in the middle of it so Google can't seem to help me on that.

Guest pod Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 ¡coño!Literally means something akin to bloody hell. Generally used as a catchall curse. Like when I dropkick one of you guys for getting all high and mighty and it hurts my foot, I'll say ¡coño! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Oh jeese, I didn't even realize that the "i" was part of it. So it's an Apple product, iCorño. I always thought they were saying two words, "aye, corño". This is why I don't use this phrase because I'm afraid that it means "MONKEY NUTS" or something.

Guest Sobebeats Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Coño means pussy, but it is use in many different ways depending on the situation. For example: Que coño es eso? -> What that fuck is that?Esa coñita si esta buena! -> That little girl is hot. El coño de tu madre -> Motherfucker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
