Hi!

I'm trying to figure some insults or names in Spanish out:

  • Payasos
  • Cansinos
  • Tontainas
  • Polacos
  • Chantajistas
  • Creatinos
  • Imerecéis Boicot
  • Cerriles
  • Pedigueños
  • Mentirosos
  • Pueblerinos

I hope you can help me!

How did you find these words? Hvordan fandt du disse ord? - ian-hill, Jan 22, 2015
What language is that Sir Ian? Is that German by any chance? - 00ffada9, Jan 22, 2015
Danish - as you know I understand it - just a wild guess but I think Mari is from Denmark.:))) - ian-hill, Jan 22, 2015

More from Google:

cansinos - the singular "cansino" = Que muestra o aparenta cansancio o falta de fuerzas o energías. "paso cansino; ritmo cansino; caminaban lentos y cansinos hacia sus casas ." Que molesta o fastidia por aburrido o insistente. "charla cansina ."

Imerecéis Boicot - "merecer" means " to deserve or merit." So maybe "you deserve a boycott"??

cerriles - "cerril" means "wild" so maybe the wild ones?

"Cerril" means "obstinate" or "coarse" according to context. "Pedigueño" is "demanding" or "clamouring" depending on context.. - Daniela2041, Jan 22, 2015
That's why it's always good to hear from a "real" Spanish-speaker. I can use a translator, but I don't know the "meanings." Thanks!! - Winkfish, Jan 22, 2015

Here's what I found on Google Translate:

Payasos = clowns

Cansinos

Tontainas = no translation, but "tonto" means "stupid" so maybe a derivation?

Polacos = Polish/Poles

Chantajistas = blackmailers

Creatinos = No translation, but maybe someone from Crete? or the English word cretin (stupid)

Imerecéis Boicot

Cerriles

Pedigueños = beggars

Mentirosos = liars

Pueblerinos = villagers

Well, I got absolutely nothing from the translator, and the only word I recognize is "Boycott". I'm looking forward to seeing what some natives might say.

Keep in mind that if any of these words are offensive or severely derogatory, one of the Mods just might have to close the post. Just giving you a warning, since I don't understand any of these words either. smile

Good luck!

I've tried my dictionaries too and didn't find a perfect match, but I believe that it might be like "insolidarios". Nouns made into names - MariDeDenmark, Jan 22, 2015
