   @Rasterman @Paleface 'Puto cabron' is heard frequently in areas of the US with Mexican infestation
   
   My favorite tho is the Dominican specialty 'mamaguebaso' ('someone who sucks a lot of cocks')

     @BattleDwarfGimli Spanish is honestly not that hard for a native English speaker to learn, iirc it's classified as a 'Tier 1' language, you just have to put the work in with verb conjugation. Most Western European languages are like that except German (Tier 2)
     
     Tiers 3/4 are where it gets really interesting (hard)

     They hate it when you can understand them, too.

     @TrevorGoodchild @BattleDwarfGimli german isn't that hard for english speakers as well, as we have a lot of german words hidden in our vocabulary

     @TrevorGoodchild @sickburnbro @BattleDwarfGimli German is difficult to learn initially but gets easier later on, whereas Spanish starts out easier but gets harder later on, or so I've heard.
     
     German is tricky because of all the conjugations, different syntax, and the fact it is a little *too* similar to English (Wer means Who and Wo means Where -- and I initially mixed those up for a second even just now) so there is a strong tendency to essentially just speak English with a German accent, rather than speak German correctly.

     @sickburnbro @BattleDwarfGimli It's the nuanced pronunciation that gets people

     @samjayganges @TrevorGoodchild @BattleDwarfGimli yeah, Wo is a tricky one like that. It helps to memorize simple version of "the 5 Qs" in order to self-check. "Was ist das?"
