Yes, this is very commenly used in Puerto Rico, my family says it all the time. It's kind of like **** you and the horse you rode on but, this is a tricky one to try to fit into an english insult. It's like saying **** you and your mom that gave birth to you.

The original sentence: there they (the people from Lepe) go again...drawing attention to themselves. I also agree on the fact that here the "la madre que los parió" is not an insult but an exclamation. But then that's a case of usage. Perhaps in another Spanish speaking country I would sound harsher. Have to be careful. BTW "Madre biológica" is correct. |

They do not have bad reputation, they're proud to be in lots of jokes.
The people of Lepe are special. ¿Porqué los de Lepe llevan tortugas en los ojos? -porque son lentillas saludos

This is a very common saying in the carribean, especially Puerto Rico, I always here people in my family saying it. I dont think that there a real direct translation, It's kind of like saying your momma too.

Thanks for the help!
Hey all!
Thanks for this new expression! I just finished this book... called funny enough... *Madre*... and am now obsessed with making a list of all the "madre" expressions out there. Had not seen la madre que te pario before. BTW... you can get the book on Amazon... if anyone is interested in the subject... which is basically about living in another country and finding a word that everyone uses all the time and no one teaches in class. Off to add la madre que te pario to my list! |
