Today I had an argument with a male person from Spain.
He wrote this: ziezo mono, ziezo manio & ziezo yeso.
I presume this should be insults, as he insulted me before in English.
I don't know what "ziezo" means.
Mono - Ape
This is the only word I know from this.

Weird to me! (to say the least)
I can only think of "sieso"... even then, it's odd...

Googling the expression, this seems to be andalusian slang, and it seems Pablo's guess was right. "Ziezo/ciezo/sieso" being a rather rude word to express contempt and calling someone some kind of a**hole or so. :thinking:
It also seems to be addressed to someone aggressive or someone one shouldn't deal with.

At least I know that it is not commonly used.
Thank you all for replies.

I'm not a native Spanish speaker, but thought I'd throw this into the conversation. Apparently the word is sieso which is a word I didn't know. (Maybe that's a good thing?)
Anyway, the different spellings that AngelicaDeAlquezar noted reminded me of something that you might find of interest. We all know that in Castillian Spanish the c and the z are pronounced like the "th" in Eng, what we would call a lisp. In Latin America and in many parts of Spain outside of Castilla they are pronounced like the letter s, no lisp.
Well, many years ago when I lived in Spain I travelled down to Sevilla for la Semana Santa with some friends one of whom was from a poor family in a small town in Andalucia. We stopped to visit his family and I noticed that the people there lisped almost everything. We were talking about la Semana Santa and the "procesiones" and it came out as proTHeTHiones. I thought it was quite amusing and I never heard it anywhere else.

Sieso means anus, as far as I know.
