What does this mean? Puto Rey This was written on a bathroom wall at work. Thanks

Hi Newshe:

I don't think it would be a good idea to translate that. It is vulgar and not worth translating.

Elaina:thumbsdown:

literally "****ing King".
Some people says "eres el puto amo" (you're the ****ing master) in order to say "you're the best", so perhaps "puto rey" it's the gang-king of the place. But I must say saying "puto" is very vulgar.
saludos :D
PD: elaina, you always go first!!! ladies first?

Sosia.......

¡Claro que sí! Ladies always first!

Good translation.

Elaina;)

yes, ladies always first, but never at paying time :D

Unless you go dutch!

Entiendes?

Elaina:p

Yes, I saw it in germany (zusammen or separate?- "together or single")
In spanish "cada uno paga lo suyo".
Saludos :D

¿Porque diran "Dutch"????

¿Asi lo haran los Dutch?

Alguien sabe?

Elaina:confused:

Here are some quotations from http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-it...u-go-dutch.htm:


The origin of the phrase "go Dutch" or "Dutch treat" can be traced back to a time when England and the Netherlands fought constantly over trade routes and political boundaries during the 17th century. The British used the term "Dutch" in a number of derogatory or demeaning ways, including "Dutch courage" (bravery through alcohol) and "Dutch treat", which was actually no treat at all. The Dutch were said to be very stingy with their wealth, so the British used the word "Dutch" informally to imply all sorts of negative behaviors.

The modern idea of "to go Dutch" no longer carries the stigma of the term's original intentions. It is simply a recognized bit of social jargon which allows each party to know the financial arrangements of a date or social outing before the bill arrives and allows each party to spend according to their personal entertainment budget.
