What does "punta" mean?

Question

I heard it being used, and though it seemed to be rather derogatory, I am not certain as to its meaning. (And it wasn't punto or whatever.)

Answer 1

Punta is nothing else that the tip of something. They might be using it to meat "puta" the same way we say in English, "Oh shoot!!" in order not to sound too rude. I am just guessing.

I have heard "p*to" used in very rude and offensive ways. >. - NikkiLR, Jan 10, 2012

yes, these are offensive words, but they are used often by some people - unMica, Jan 10, 2012

You are right Nikki, as far as I understand, the word you are referring to is used in Mexico. I never heard that word to be used that way where I am from . - farallon7, Jan 10, 2012
