Ser bruto, burro...
 
por favor, qué quiere decir; ser bruto, ser burro y estar crudo?:thinking::confused:

Bruto/burro refer to being stupid, dumb, etc "blockhead". Crudo in Central America is a hangover.

burro
 
yeap, burro/donkey is like the dumbest someone can be........... back in the days when my dad attended grammar school, a pusnishment (for those kids who had academic issues) would be to stand in a corner of the classroom and wear a black cone shaped hat that read the word "Burro." Can you imagine being the official "Burro" of the class??? :worried:

But " Que burro eres!" "No seas burro!" "Pero que burro/a" is slang too....people use it all the time and it doesnt' mean the person you're talking to is a real "burro"...LOL...I use it all the time :o

"estar crudo" is hangover

Esto se llama a dunce cap en inglés y dunce es igual que burro aunque dumbass es más habitual y tiene un origen similar.

I always thought estar crudo was used to talk about food. It means something is raw.

That too.
Other words I have heard for hangover: guayabo,...there are others but
I can't remember them. My head is pounding:D

The only word I know for hangover is resaca. Drink some coffee, Poli...

Those are funny words!

I've always heard....

crudo = hangover

but I think it uses the same connotation as "raw". When you drink too much alcohol, your stomach becomes "raw" so I think that's where the word "crudo" came from.

As far as "guayabo" goes, well I am not going to share what I have heard about that word!!:eek:

Please, do. Pretty please...

Elaina June 03, 2008 04:10 PM

It's very sexual.........:eek:

I'll leave it as that.
