Apologies Gekkosan, I was trying to be as g-rated as possible and assume that this person was asking a genuine question. I gave the clearest and cleanest term I could think of- not generally considered a 'bad' word. - la-maestra-roja, Sep 22, 2010
I understand what you tried to do. We need to be careful, though, because what is "acceptable" for some people, can be very offensive for others. While some of us may wish for a bit more freedom, the general consensus on previous discussions has been that - Gekkosan, Sep 22, 2010

It's actually spelled 'puta' and it's generally considered pretty rude. In some cases, close friends will use it in a joking way, but it's not a word to throw around. In English, the most literal translation is 'prostitute' though it comes with other connotations as well.
