How do you clarify between dog and the cussword?

Question

Hi. If you want to say "female dog" it's "perra" but the word B***** is "perra" also. How do you clarify? I mean, I don't want to say, "Your (female) dog is so pretty!" and it come out "Your b***** is so pretty!" Heeeeeeeeeeeelp before I cussout someone!

Good question... I would say perrita.. but maybe that has another meaning too! Or you could say cachora.. but a google image search tells me that can refer to women too! - rabbitwho, Sep 19, 2011

Answer 1

There's nothing to clarify. If you're addressing the dog as 'perra', no one in their right mind is going to think ill of it. However, if you are addressing a woman as 'perra', she's going to slap the crap out of you and her dog is going to bite you.

Answer 2

Normally people will be able to tell by context. If you're really worried just use perro instead of perra and pretend you don't know the gender of the dog.

Answer 3

In just a few Spanish speaking countries perra is a cuss word, most of us use the word pu.., that is a lot more direct,you can use perra every time you need to

Answer 4

It's only when you meet a guy with a girlfriend and a female dog, that you may really run into problems...

that's what I was thinking... - Saythatagain, Sep 26, 2011

Answer 5

Just like Fatch said, but if l were you, l'd simply avoid meeting any female with a female dog!
