Off topic, but I'd like to point out the "stupid" does not always translate directly as "estúpido". I like to think of it as somewhat of a false cognate.


While there is a lot of overlap in the meaning of the two words, estúpido in Spanish is a much harsher, agressive, and offensive word than stupid in English, in my experience at least.


stupid = tonto
estúpido = retarded
