I think ¨un putero¨ is yet another of the many many ways one can say ¨a lot¨. About as logical as ¨un chingo¨ or ¨a crapload¨ but those expressions are pretty common too. wink

There is even one of those dumb, post-random-stuff facebook sites called ¨te amo un putero¨

Where is the person who said this to you from? That's actually pretty important to know.

But let me give it the old college try anyway. Let's start with a little vocabulary first...

Putero, at least in Mexico, is a **** house.

Chaparrita is a very short woman.

Te quiero un putero is just a very slangy way of saying I like/love you. I'm not sure if it's referring to romantic love or not. I'm still trying to find out some info on this.

And I have no idea what a putero has to with loving someone.

Putero tambien es llamado vulgarmente a las casas de citas.

But in this case It is a slang used more in the center, north and a little in the south from Mexico to express quantity. For example:

Te quiero un putero. In this case means (I love you so much). The same for:

  • Te quiero un madrero, (I love you so much).
  • Te quiero un chingo. (I love you so much).

Las ultimas 2 palabras en México se usan para expresar diferentes cosas. Pero es un poco informal o vulgar hablarlo.

Putero if it means approval in this context probably travels the same linguistic path as de la puta madre meaning that something is wonderful, on the street at least.

Chaparrita is a short, stubby, probably plump female as Rodney mentions.

It would be good to know which region this comes from but it doesn't resonate with language one might associate with public speaking or international diplomacy. wink
