Question

What does "señor oso" mean when a male calls another male this?

Answer 1

In Spanish to hacer el oso can mean to be/act foolishly or made to feel that way, so it is possible that "Señor oso" takes on this characteristic. Quizas - "Mr. dummy/Mr. fool."

In the Caribbean, the word oso can also be used to describe a braggart or gallant.

Two colloquial uses include (with the first being more common):

---

Exponerse a la burla o lástima de la gente, haciendo o diciendo tonterías.

Galantear, cortejar sin reparo ni disimulo.

---

If you were to use the second form then it might mean something like the slang (colloquial?) expression "player."

---

If it's Spanglish then it might mean something like "Mr. gangster" as oso can mean mafioso as a slang word - Mr. mafiOso.

You will probably have to wait for someone more familiar with this term to get a definitive answer, though.

Answer 2

Mister Bear, that made me think of this kid at my school that me and a few others call "Mister B" (Behind his back, his real name is Dustin.)

Answer 3

Senhor means they're speaking Portugese.

Answer 4

I don't know - but maybe "Señor oso" = Mr. bear.
