Oops and pedo make a comical though stinky combo

Se me olvidaba: menudo pedal lleva ése. También se usa.

Pero suena super "vasto"....No offense intended

You both lost me there.

David,
Alfonso offered a new expression to say somebody is drunk and I said I thought it was very rude (vasto).

But I don't think it's very rude. To me, it sounds less rude than ¡Vaya pedo lleva ése!
If you use pedal instead of pedo you're softening the phrase.

[Iris]

Totally disagree. To me is the other way around.We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

[Alfonso]

So you think pedal is a great pedo?
To me, Spanish pedal is English pedal. That's what I think if I say: ¡Qué gran pedal lleva ese! It doesn't make any sense, but the other way around doesn't make any sense either.

I do hope everyone here understands that to say someone is a pedo in English is a far more serious and disturbing accusation.

I didn't see your response earlier. Thanks. I now understand perfectly
