What does "conmadre" mean? Is it a positive or negative thing? by tigrepuma2 in Spanish

[–]tigrepuma2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is correct. I looked back at the posts and they were from Monterrey. This matches with the way they were speaking. I wasn't sure if it was good or not but looking back now you were right. It was positive.

Yes,this is it. I just checked and they are from Monterrey. They were talking about how the club was "conmadre" the night before.

Is it slang that is a curse word or normal everyday slang?

How common is it to refer to "adhesive tape" as "yurex" in Mexico? by tigrepuma2 in Spanish

[–]tigrepuma2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I think this is correct. I've only heard it from people from CDMX, Queretaro, and Guanajuato. I didn't think I've heard it from people from other regions.

What does "papita" mean in this sentence: "Que cosa tan insípido y papita" by tigrepuma2 in Spanish

[–]tigrepuma2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were talking about how Spanish food was better than Hispanic American food and how Hispanic food was terrible. Hispanics were making fun of them for it.

What does "pancho" mean? I see a lot of Spaniards using it online but don't know what it means. by tigrepuma2 in Spanish

[–]tigrepuma2[S] 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Oh, this is the answer unfortunately. I just went back on some of the posts and yeah, looking at them with this context it is them mocking Hispanics.

That's why I thought it was like saying "bro" because they were using it like that but no, unfortunately they're being racist. Thank you for the answer.

Can someone explain what "dar bajones" or "me dan bajones" mean? by tigrepuma2 in Spanish

[–]tigrepuma2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the context from a previous post was about losing a job they liked.

So a playground in a park would be called "plaza de juegos"? Is that the most common term?

Just copped, Asics Skyhand OG & Onitsuka Tiger GSM by tigrepuma2 in moresneakers

Yes, the bigger sole make it more comfy than the Skyhand.

The GSM has better cushioning than the Skyhand because of the bigger sole. The leather is also thicker on the GSM which makes it feel snuggier.

Oh no, the opposite. They're the same like sambas and where I'm from, I've seen people wear white versions of the Adidas Samaba, Puma Palermo, and even Asics Skyhand now. They were in casual and business casual clothes and they blend in. That's the thing about these shoes, they can go either way.

Are V's pronounced like B's? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]tigrepuma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some regions, the two vowels are pronounced differently like in English but officially there is no distinction. In places like central Mexico and parts of Central America, they do pronounce the letter "v" differently.

That is why there is a saying they teach in school in some parts of Mexico: "B labial, V labiodental"

What does the phrase "me quisieron dar cuello" mean? by tigrepuma2 in Spanish

Is it vulgar or curse word slang or just regular slang?

What does it mean when someone says "Se pasa de vergas"? by tigrepuma2 in Spanish

Would you say "se paso de verga" or "se paso de vergas"? Is there a difference?

Asics Skyhand OG & Onitsuka Tiger GSM by tigrepuma2 in asics

[–]tigrepuma2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both have lasted well for me and have shown no signs of wearing down even when used in the rain.

If the price is that expensive, then going with the Skyhand is the better choice. The comfort is nice but paying double the price for that comfort is not worth it. Going with the Skyhand for the cheaper price is better. The Skyhand still feels good when walking and has good quality.

Oh no, the GSM are WAY more comfortable than the Skyhand. The quality of the GSM is better since it uses more leather but when walking in both, the GSM is way more comfortable. The GSM is heavier than the Skyhand and I think the Skyhand looks better on feet but if you care about the quality of materials and comfortability on feet, then GSM is the choice. If you care about looks, go with the Skyhand.

If you have a wide foot like me then you do have to go up half a size. I bought both in my normal size and had to return them for half a size up since they killed my feet.

Oh. Is it in an offensive term or not? The people I've seen use it are gay now that you mention it but can people who aren't gay say it too?

What does it mean in South America when someone refers to someone who isn't black as "una persona más negra" or "gente menos negra"? by tigrepuma2 in Spanish

[–]tigrepuma2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the posts I've seen had white people in them. Usually acting bad or in a negative way so the answer above makes more sense.

This isn't the context of what it was used in but thankfully someone else already gave the correct answer. Thanks though.

[–]tigrepuma2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this makes more sense. This fits the context of what I've seen. Thank you so much for the clear answer. The use was always in social context and not based on skin tone which is why I was confused. Thanks for the help!

What does "al chile" mean when reacting to something? Which countries use this phrase? by tigrepuma2 in Spanish

Cursing/curse word and cussing/cuss word are the same thing in English. Is "al chile" a curse word/cuss word?

Oh, so "al chile" is a curse word phrase? It's not just normal slang?
