That IS a shock, eh? And the BBC website is carrying THAT?! It's worth mentioning that that same link above carries a number of other expressions for different situations including going out, moods, money, technology, and more.

At least, it has to be said that all the expressions can be heard any day in Spain at any time, and that the pronunciations are pretty good. So, its usefulness is out of doubt.

Let's try not to repeat many of the colorful sayings here on this forum. My grandmother may be reading. Thanks.

My sincere apology for the first phrase of my last post. I didn’t think it was too colorful since BBC rated it as “very familiar” and all of my friends in Spain as well as my husband’s relatives use it all of the time and no one thinks twice about it. In fact, his grandmother says c*** when she is losing in Parcheesi. I apologize; I hope nobody’s grandmother was offended.

As much as all these words are considered "bad" words, they really are part of the everyday life and language of most Spaniards.

This is what I've been learning over the past 2 years, living with someone from Madrid.
