Thread: cotorruda

Jack,

I am not talking about proper Spanish, because this word with this meaning is not proper, it is vulgar slang in several countries.

I didn't mention any books either. I support my statement as a Spanish speaker and in my 24 years of experience as a profesional translator who has travelled extensively and corresponded with Spanish speakers form many areas of the world.

I just answered a question, I tried to help. You are free to insist on any wrong idea with farfetched reasons. I am not going to argue with you.

Have a nice weekend.

Your are too easily offended Walter! I was only having a discussion not attacking you personally. No offense meant!

No offense taken, at all, really.

I just didn`t see the point in continuing arguing.

Take care.

Hi Vicente!

I guess it all depend on the context.

"Cotorra" = Parrot, that's clear for everybody.
But down here, in slang it's also a synonym of vagina as Walter said.

So if you hear something like: "Fulana habla como una cotorra" it means that "Jane Doe talks like a parrot" as Jack said.
But if you hear: "Fulana es una cotorruda" or "Fulana tiene una flor de cotorra" it would probably mean about Jane Doe crotch.

Hope this could be of help.

Vicente,

Knowing the whole context would help, as you can tell the original intention. I believe you heard this word though from somebody originally from southern South America, (Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay). Down there it is a derogative term, it is vulgar but not the worst (very vulgar in Uruguay, not so much in Argentina, and even less insulting in Chile), and it even though it literally means that the recipient has a big vagina, it is actually used along the same lines and meaning than we use a**hole here (mostly when referring in derogatory terms speaking about a third person that happens to be a female). She did something wrong, so this person would say "no puedo creer que te haya dicho eso, pero que cotorruda!"

I can't imagine anybody using that word and not meaning a**hole. Cotorruda/o definitely doesn't apply for the parrot and it seldom used to refer to a big vagina, given that you're having a VERY, VERY, VERY vulgar conversation and you're referring unequivocally to the size of the vagina "era tan cotorruda que le bailaba adentro"

Conchuda/o is a much more common word that even though it has the same derogative intention to people in the south of south america (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Paraguay), it is not vulgar and does have a different meaning for people in the north of south america, meaning lazy for people in Venezuela, Colombia and Peru for example.

Do you know the general region of origin of the cotorrudo from whom you heard that word?

The ending "-udo, -uda" refers to big size. The RAE states:
-udo, da.
(Dellat. -ūtus).
1. suf. En adjetivos derivados de sustantivos, indica abundancia, gran tamaño, o bien intensidad de lo significado por la raíz. Barbudo, carrilludo, cachazudo.

Therefore, you can get the proper meaning of the combination of cotorra + uda.

Not to offend anyone here but there was another word, I learned in Costa Rica, which there, only meant "little bug". The word is "bicho". It was so innocuous a word in CR that the female teachers called the male students this word on a daily basis when we would joke around in the classroom.

But when I lived in Nicaragua, I found out quickly that I had to drop that word from my vocabulary as it too was extremely vulgar in the same sense of the word we are primarily discussing here.

So I would imagine, that in some countries "cotorra" does actually mean "parrot" and/or "talkative" and with the "uda" suffix.. only means "big parrot" and/or "very talkative".
