En chile podemos decir, solto un taco de palabrotas. Aunque ahora ya usamos más tracalada que taco. To esto es muy mal español.

Todos los días se aprende algo. En la vida había oído esa expresión.

Aquí nomás se dice "ser malhablado/grosero", "decir/soltar palabrotas/majaderías/groserías"...

Thank you. I was waiting for a response from a Mexican. I was almost sure the term was not used in Mexico.

"Taco" is a sacred word here.

It's only used for food, soccer shoes and (as a concession) billiard cues.

Soccer shoes are called tacos, too? Here they're botas de futbolista.

*jeje* Como dije, los tacos son sagrados para un mexicano.

Y sí, hasta donde sé, los zapatos para soccer se llaman tacos.

Las botas de fútbol tienen tacos en la suela para agarrar al cesped. Parece lógico que se llamen tacos.

También chile se usa ser mal hablado o grosero. Pero ¿dónde está el chiste en hablar correctamente el español?
