Potential offensive
Not sure if theres an answer already on this but I obviously know slang / swear / adult language is not allowed... But Many, Many times I have questions about words / phrases that may be potentially offensive to some, therefore I don't post them here on the family forum. However I am curious to know the answers therefore are there any native spanish speakers I can PM about such questions or anyone know of a place I can freely ask?
The hard part is I don't actually know if the word phrase will be offensive since I do not know spanish, but sometimes I have a feeling it might be offensive / swear word.
But for example, I had a conversation tonight with a family which used some words that I thought meant something completely different from all my previous encounters with the verb, but it turns out in central america the meaning is completely different and very kid friendly.
Anyone have suggestions on what to do or where to post such questions?

People here in Girona seem to curse all the time. I assume the words aren´t as strong as their literal translations. All the slang body part words are really taboo in English! More so even than the F word I would say, but it depends on your generation and the context as well.
I hear you 
. there is no really a better way than mingling with native language speaking people to learn the slang language and then you can freely ask them about all the meanings . The context and the tone also makes a difference in the meaning for the same/similar phrases .
Even from Spanish speaking country to another , it makes a huge difference . Spanish people always make fun for example about the use of verb coger in Mexico . so such stuff you will never find in dictionaries . some books specific for slang expressions may be . cheers
WordReference don't seem to restrict these type of queries, Cheese.
