What does "Que me ves pende jo" mean?

Question

There is a piece of artwork called "Explore" by Nicole Marroquin at the National Muesum of Mexican Art in Chicago. The sculpture is of a man staring down at you and across his face reads "Que me ves pende jo." Her work is amazing and I was just wondering what this translates to so I can understand the piece more. Thank you!

Answer 1

It's ¿Qué me ves pendejo? and it means, "What, do you think I'm stupid?"

Only it's really not quite that nice.

Actually it's closer to "What are you looking at, stupid?" Said when being accused of watching someone - 005faa61, Apr 6, 2011

You could buy this hat and wear it to the gallary (I don't think it would be safe wearing it anywhere else!!!

Answer 3

Thanks everyone! That makes a lot of sense from the way the figure was staring at me. :0 )

Answer 4

OK, this is troubling for me, so I want to re-open it. Julian, a native speaker, has given an answer, which I am sure is probably correct:

Actually it's closer to "What are you looking at, stupid?" Said when being accused of watching someone - JulianChivi

The thing is, I don't understand the grammar.

So here it is again: ¿Qué me ves pendejo?

The thing that's bothering me is the "me".

Is it somehow, "What are you looking at me, pendejo?"

http://www.babylon.com/definition/Qué_me_ves/ ---doesn't answer your question, but does confirm the translation as a phrase. - Stadt, Apr 8, 2011

Why I don't think pendejo means stupid and all the answers are usseless like this blog.I have this hat so long-no problems, like the above pocemon said,can't post it's photo, and the bad language like the αsshоlе can be written with different languages - 00c5b696, Oct 14, 2017

Answer 5

Answer 6

Qué at the beginning has so many meanings Goyo, I would think of it as either "(Por)que me ves, pendejo" or as How do you see me, as a pendejo?

Qué at the beginning - (Espero Qué, (random verb) Qué, Es Qué, Para Qué, Porque) on and on. In my experience that is....
