My habit words.

Question

When I'm working and something goes wrong, I catch myself saying, Dang or dang it, shoot or something in those lines. I was wondering how to say this in spanish. And what kind of slang do you use in spanish?

Answer 1

I have a friend in Mexico who always says "¡Chispas! " (literally 'sparks') As I understand it this is like dang or shoot because it sort of starts like an actual curse word.

Answer 2

I just say "dios mio!" in a really diabolical voice. Or I say "¿¡por qué?!" once again in a very, very diabolical voice.

Answer 3

I say, "quesos", and like snomon, it's gotta be in a very evil voice...

Oh yeah, and don't forget to shake your fists at the world while you say it...

Answer 5

My boyfriend and his family constantly say coño. Some people use it to mean sht, f***, or dan. it depends on the inflection in your voice when you use it.

That one can get you in trouble. In English it's the C word that is never allowed. - Goyo, Dec 13, 2009

¡Miércoles! For added effect you can pause in the middle of the word.. "¡Miér...coles!"
