Spanish website

I know, it may not be positive to post this, but I think it's quite interesting how the Spanish word for testicles is used in "normal" language. If you don't like the link, please shorten it so the website only and not this explicit article can still be visited. It's worth, I guess. It is about all Spanish dialects or many of them.

You should add that this is a slang word.

Tetsuo,

Esto es muy divertido para mí. Mi esposa cubana solía decir mucho ¡c*j*nes de perro! jajajajajajaja...
Ya tengo años de no oirla decir lo. Los cubanos tienen muchas de las mismas malas palabras como
los españoles.

@Rusty
Asumo es claramente visible, ¿no?

@villa
Uh, vale. Muy interesante.

@Tetsuo: I think Rusty meant that slang is not exactly "normal language".
Whatever is common slang in a region is rude slang in another or not used (or even not understood) at all. Also, there are words (not only slang) that are commonly acceptable or definitely rejected in some registers, which demands that one knows it's better to avoid them until you know the people with whom you're talking.

Yes, I said, that's clear for me. Maybe not other though, don't know. I am always speaking for me. I'd never use this kind of language unless I am 100% sure it is appropiate to a specific situation AND I know the people well enough to be sure I am allowed to use this.
