Profanity in Spanish?

Mrtejano

Mrtejano

On a certain station (won't say which one) but I heard a song that says ME VALE (Mothers) is that considered profanity on the radio?

I also heard a another song from Voz De Mando AHORA RESULTA.

The dirty version has lots of profanity!

"Me vale madre" means "I couldn't give a damn" and is not a profanity.

The only real vulgarism in the Voz de Mando song is "puta" or "whore." That is a strong word, but not a profanity. I usually say it when I stub my toe or hit my finger with a hammer or somesuch.

What about (CHINGADERA) Isn't that considered bad also in Spanish?
 
"Santa Maria, Madre De Dios!"

That's typically my "toe stubbing" exclamation.

That would be La Mejor, Señor Tejano? I've caught a few words fly on 104-5 that would make my mother blush, if she were still living. I guess LBC figures the suspiciously low audio masks the seedy lyrics coming from the Church's translator.

It's vulgar, but not profane. The verb from which it comes, "chingar", should not be used. But a "chingadera" is something that is all messed up. Using it is soft of like using "Snafu" which we know is an acronym containing the "F" word but which is acceptable.

My cursing is not as reverent. :rolleyes:

When thoroughly annoyed, I will be heard saying "coñocarajomierdapuñeta" spoken as one single word (and revealing the inner Boricua in me, too).
 
I wish people would learn the difference between profanity, obscenity and vulgarity. Profane or blasphemous words refer to things sacred. Obscenities are mostly sexual and vulgarities are just that - words for bodily functions, barnyard substances and parental marital status.
