    The funniest part is that culo isn't actually a derogatory word at all on it's own, it's the word elementary school kids use when they want to seem unruly.

      @nerthos maybe in Argentina but it's a bit harsher elsewhere, of course I can't speak for every Spanish country. Wiki even backs me up

        @rarity It might be harsher in central america, but in south america and even more so in spain, it's a really soft word. In spain it's even the standard word for butt.

          @nerthos yeah well EU Spanish is comical so I don't go by the rules that language follows

            @rarity Spain spanish is kinda silly, south american spanish is closer to colony era castillian than anything else, central america spanish is weird but ok, and north american spanish is incredibly broken

              @nerthos South American Spanish sounds waaay too formal to me tbh. Every dialect has its quirks (like why tf do Boricuas replace "r" with "l" all the time)

                @rarity I honestly never understood that, but doing so makes the language sound way softer, to the point you can't even take insults seriously. Central America/Caribbean spanish always sounded really... basic and tribal to me, except for a few places like Cuba.

                  @nerthos Everyone in Cuba sounds like Don Corleone

                    @rarity But they sound not ignorant, which is why I like it more than other dialects.

                  @nerthos and it's all perspective. Like Central American Spanish sounds basic to you, while your Spanish sounds snooty and stuck up to people further north

                    @rarity I guess so. I can agree that the spanish spoken here in the 60s-70s did sound really pretentious and stuck up, even to me. Not so much anymore though. Sadly it's becoming more and more basic and broken due to the education crisis from the 80s onwards.
