Soltar tacos

[poli]

Has anyone heard of this phrase, or what it means?

[bobjenkins]

Sí creo que esta frase significa decir palabrotas "to curse/use bad language"

¿Podría ser que en este caso "tacos = labios"?

Soltar tacos = loose lips (los cuales las dejan pasar muchas las palabrotas)

Bobjenkins is absolutely right. :-)

I agree with you. Soltar tacos = decir palabrotas.

I'm surprised this is the same in Latin America

¿Qué significa montón?
Busqué en el dictionario y me dijo que es significada "group/bunch"
Tengo dudas

Right, it is a pile/bunch and taco means also that...colloquially speaking...

I don't understand. So, you don't say "soltar tacos", but... "decir un montón"

Taco means montón, so we can say "un taco de tonterías...) meaning un montón de tonterías. We never use it to mean swearing.

Pues aquí se dice: suelta un montón de tacos (= dice muchas palabrotas). En chileno sería: suelta un montón de montones
