Eh, doesn't matter at this point buddy.  The board needs to feast.  Some friendly advice, you're better off just going for a walk for an hour or two.

No, it fucking isn't.

Yes, "Hey, lo vamos a pasar de puta madre". In english is: "Hey we are going to pass a great time".

I will accept this though, I'd say it's more like "On your mother's tits".

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that it's a colloquialism that uses common dirty words. I don't see any indication of it being "your mother is a whore" in that sentence. "de puta madre" is... well, I can't figure it out. The rest of the sentence checks out with his translation though.

I did some checking, and in Actual Spain, it is apparently a non-insulting phrase.

Khore, you have to understand, almost everyone on this board speaks Latinamericano Spanish.  Where such a phrase is not used, and, well...I don't need to point out the problem there.

His Spanish is defective.

If people in Spain can't use the Spanish language properly, they should apologize and give it back to Mexico.

To be fair the whole country is defective. They haven't been the same since Badbeast and his cronies sunk their armada.

In all seriousness, Roger, feel free to go off on Khore about everything else. THAT was a legit case of linguistic problems.  :lol:

Granted.  Though they had a gigantic navy, it was mostly obsolete and no longer was relevant to the military needs of the day.

Good thing we Americans would never do anything like that.  Those 12 carrier fleets are necessary, you bastards!  When Zombie Tojo comes back with his fleet of undead mariners, you bastards will be singing a different tune!  YOU'LL THANK US THEN, EUROPEANS!

I am.  I am going off over his linguistic problems.  He is using the wrong Spanish, much the way Australians use an out-dated and bug-ridden version of English.

The subtle nuances of colloquial English rarely translate well into other languages either. When we say over here that something is "The Dog's Bollocks", it's difficult to explain to the Japanese Ambassador that he's actually just been complemented on his Nation's contribution to the cartoon film industry.
