How many different Hispanic magazines were developed before deciding on these choice three?

"Chinga Jaime" means "Fuck Jaime" in Spanish.

Cheers.

To be fair, if I were a subtitle writer for a movie, for example, and I had to translate a character saying "¡Chinga te!" or some such, I'd probably either have it say "Screw you!" or "Fuck you!" as those are basically the closest contextual analogs in English. The phrases are used very similarly in either language.

You're right about the verbs, technically speaking, I've just heard far more Spanish speakers yell variations of "chingar" at people in the heat of anger than anything else.

But hey, at this point we're probably splitting hairs, eh? :)

I hate to tell you this, but Colonialism is no longer a main thing of dudes.
boredom_man » neu 2 years ago
In no way is my disgust for your (however feigned) post-Renaissance English style of imperialism an advocation of my country's current style of imperialism. I'd gladly dip all of my country's imperialist in wax with yours, position their bodies in dances such as Hitler and Stalin in Europa Europa, and put a pair of you at every border checkpoint across the world, in celebration of patois, evolution, neologisms, and most especially language as a dynamic and vital entity which breaths anew with every generation, not to mention every village it enters. Frankly, though, the dialogue in Achewood does a better job of teaching evolutionary language. Which makes me wonder: why are you here?

Excellent comment. I've only been reading the comments recently but I had a strong desire to question why soticoto, who regularly berates the very idea of American English, would be spending so much time around a comic written in an aggressively American dialect. If only he'd had an answer.

You've earned the right to tell him to fuck along now.

Uhm. This is pretty awful stuff in the main. I thought I liked you but I didn't know you were a damn elitist.

Well, that's three things going for you.

Ah, yes. The sport of uncultured douches.
alejandroadam » neu 2 years ago
your totally right. 'spanish' isn't even a language, it's Castilian, or one of the other 5 different languages that come from spain. and as a child of Latin American parentage. I can tell you. there is no real unifing theory of language or word useage in the "spanish" that is spoken accross the americas.
boredom_man » neu 2 years ago
Though should there ever be such a unifying word usage, it's gonna be "chingada."

31 wankers buggered 'emselves.
joeyramoney » neu 2 years ago
i think "fucking" would be "chingada".
goosey » pro 2 years ago
That comment, combined with that avatar.

Is SO wrong.
Is SO funny.
zefiel » neu 2 years ago
Your thinking is wrong. But yeah, I can totally picture Philippe going around thinking 'Chingada' is a cute little species of mexican rodent.
boredom_man » neu 2 years ago
For a kinder, gentler manifest destiny vote Phillipe for President.

I like to marry things I find
I'm glad that I found you!

I assume this is just based on the very popular Mexican epithet "¡Chinga tu madre!"

Since we're discussing the meaning and usage of words, does anyone know if "chingar" is actually used outside of Mexico? It's not really part of my working Spanish vocabulary, because most of my Spanish I learned in Spain.
n00b » neu 2 years ago
Mine either. My Spanish is Venezuelan and Joder is used more often for both fucking and screwing. Chingar is far less prolific.
nickb285 » neu 1 years ago
Most of my admittedly limited Spanish was learned with an emphasis on Mexican Spanish, since given the demographics of my area that's the variant most likely to be used. "Chingar" seems to be used to pretty much the complete exclusion of "joder," although the Mexican population has a large number of other cuss words, some of which are rather impressive in their complexity. When I have spent time in Spain, however, I have never once heard "chingar" or any variant thereof. It seems to be fairly equivalent to calling someone a "spanner" or a "tosser" versus calling them a douchebag; people who speak the language anywhere know what it means but one is far less common.

I know his is a reallly old thread, but it confuses me. I live in Arizona and spend a lot of time around Mexicans, and this phrase is completely authentic. I hear chinga this, chinga that all day long. It does mean "fuckin'", conceptually if not literally. Do Mexicans not say this south of the border?
unquotable » neu 2 years ago
Oh my god that's what "chinga" means... I am a foolish man.

I like that clicking on the strip for the latest anti-Jaime poetry and photography results in a google search for blibbity-bloo.

KILL

MAN!

Oh man, the thought of that on a magazine cover is too hilarious.

Hispanic scientists have boring hobbies and interests just like scientists everywhere.
boredom_man » neu 2 years ago
Not according to Spider-Man 2, in which Hispanic scientists have hobbies like creating wriggly phalluses smarter than themselves.
red_dawn » pro 2 years ago
Apparently Ray only put out one publicity photo, so everyone has to use the same one.

"Kill This Man!"

Is it wrong to give a strip a five or just one part of it? Like, I didn't read the rest before I gave it the five. Isn't that bad?

You know those recipes are good because they're peer-reviewed.

You also know the bridges are good because they've been pier-reviewed.

Pat: Heretic. Asshole! MORON!
Philippe: My son Franky.

The more I see of Pat's blog the more I realize that my brother is basically half Pat and half Showbiz. And it is disturbing.

So what are they going to do to Carlos Mencia?
gigs » neu 1 years ago
Not enough. No matter what they do to him, they will never be able to erase what he has done.
anticitizen » neu 7 months ago

you'll be happy to know that carlos mencia no longer has anything resembling a career.

also: H1N1 is on the way and we. all. fucking. die.
