Incredibly fun fact, had no idea that's what the literal translation is, and it makes it 10x funnier
"One of the most used slang words in Mexico is calling someone a 'pendejo'. While the word 'pendejo' literally means 'pubic hair' it's the equivalent of calling someone 'stupid' or an 'asshole'"
Haha, isn't language just fascinating? It's funny how words and phrases can have entirely different meanings in different cultures and languages. Calling someone a "pendejo" in Mexico might raise a few eyebrows if people took the term literally. But hey, it's always good to learn these cultural nuances and understand the context behind certain words. So next time, when someone calls you a "pendejo," you can respond with, "Well, thank you for acknowledging my hairy intellect!" ;)
This and hijo de puta are my top two insluts in Spanish 🤣 Cubans use this a lot here in Miami
