en Argentina, a la "torta" mexicana (recuerdo al chavo muriendo por una "torta de jamón") le decimos "sandwich" (así en inglés, o en su versión argentinizada, "sánguche"), y casi nunca "emparedado" (como en España, no?); a su vez, llamamos "torta" al pastel (de chocolate, por ejemplo), y a los "refrescos" o "sodas" les decimos por la marca, como Vicente, o "gaseosas" (gaseosa de naranja, etc.) --pero yo tampoco tengo problemas, Vicente, porque tomo cerveza! jaja.

me quedo pensando cómo le diríamos acá a un "ñero" o "naco" (que seguro los tenemos, por las definiciones de ustedes!)...

Yo también me quedé pensando... y la verdad es que después de tantas definiciones que leí, a medida que avanzaba en la lectura lo primero que se me vino a la cabeza fue: ¡Qué grasa! ¿qué les parece? Por ejemplo, Fulano es un grasa... y que los hay... los hay jajaja

perfecto, Mem! esa era la palabra q buscaba. un grasa... alguien que habla mal todo el tiempo, y es especialista en esos "piropos" ordinarios y groseros, se acomoda la ropa interior en público, se higieniza las fosas nasales con los dedos y delante de cualquiera, se pasea en cueros incluso no estando en la playa, y en la playa, por ej., hace despliegue de todas sus virtudes, incluidas las de gritarle a su compañera cosas como "gorda!", o improperios varios... si dispone de vehículo propio (que estará adornado a su mejor estilo con flecos de colores, luces extra, bocina "tuneada" con alguna tonada molesta, etc.), por muy viejo y destartalado que el auto (o coche, o carro) esté, no le faltará un potente equipo de audio en el que el individuo escuchará A TODO VOLUMEN y con las ventanillas abiertas, música de la peor, bien "grasa" como él...

evidentemente, estos personajes existen en todos lados!
:-D

¡No hubiera podido describirlo mejor, Laura! Parece que estabas describiendo a un naco de la ciudad de México, con los flequitos o el peluche de adorno en el auto incluidos (quizá sólo te faltó la estampa religiosa colgando del espejo retrovisor). Al parecer, estos individuos no son exclusivos de un país. Ahora sabemos que, aunque son una especie aparte, están bastante extendidos por todas nuestras tierras.

Saludos

Digamos que el ñero es el equivalente a diez nacos juntos.


David, Diez nacos??? WOW!!!

In english we coudl use a word like "boor" but my personal favorite is "neanderthal". It give a flavor for the uneducated and the uncouth.

Default "musica para nacos y neros?"

Estaba escuchando un radio podcast(Radio revista Sonora) y el anunciador dijo que tocaba musica para nacos y neros (sorry no tilde)...y que no iba a tocar "regaeton". I'm just a gringa Spanish teacher trying to bring a bit of the authentic hispanohablante world to my kids. Por eso, quisiera saber exactamente que tipo de musica seria "musica para nacos y neros" y porque regaeton no cabe en la categoria.
Gracias de antemano
P.D. Diria usted que naco seria en ingles "country bumpkin" y nero "redneck"? (mas o menos?)

David... no termino de entender la diferencia que existe entre un naco y un ñero. He visto en algunos blogs o foros en la web donde no se aceptan unos a otros y hay uno que dijo: "soy naco pero no ñero"... por lo que vos comentaste es más estrafalario el naco que el ñero...si? Los nacos entonces no se juntan con los ñeros? Cada uno escucha diferente música? Cómo se identifica cada grupo?

"Ñero" me encuadró en el grasa argentino, pero no entiendo su diferencia con el naco ... Help?

Me parece muy interesante este thread chicos!

Default Nothing to do with the company!!

A Yahoo is a legendary being in the novel Gulliver’s Travels (1726).
Yahoos are vile and savage creatures, filthy and with unpleasant habits, resembling human beings. The Yahoos are primitive creatures obsessed with "pretty stones" they find by digging in mud, thus representing distasteful materialism and ignorant elitism.

Of course, the company Yahoo appeared much later than this book and its name is an acronym.

But, according to the book Gulliver's Travels Yahoo is a "ñero".
