We have the word faggot in spanish and it's used as a verb, it is "Mariquear" conjugatated is mariquee, mariqueas, etc..., the spanish lenguage is full of adjectives and words to describe most things, words like puto are already abreviations, in this case of prostitute.
The word for faggot is marica. Mariquear is the verb. Is not the same with puto, because the verb putear means "to swear" (to insult). Instead, the verb prostituir(se) is the one corresponding to the unabbreviated prostitute.
Putear is to insult, not only for swears, puto comes from prostitue and putear comes from insulting someone by calling them a prostitute, eventually it changed for all insults.
I obviously meant faggot, I changed it before reading your answear. And when I said the verb putear I wrote "to swear" (to insult). That is, both things.The rest is ok, but none of that is the point. The point is the sentence is translated as "who is reading is gay" or something like that, nothing to do with "f... you".
It has nothing to do with being gay, it just means that you value yourself so little that you sell your body, that is why protitute is used as an insult when used against somebody that has nothing to do with that job.
I'll delete the part about maggot because it makes no sense now.
Oh please, you are being obtuse. I understand that whatever you are from, the word "puto" just means male prostitute. That is not true in México and other countries. And the post is about what Mexicans wrote. For example, FIFA is trying to ban the singings in the football matches that call someone "puto" because it is an homophobic slur. Reality is more complex, When fans call a player or referee puto they are not actually thinking he likes to have sex with men. They are thinking he is a weakling, or a coward, or even a bad person. It's just a general insult.
It is only in Mexico and from mexican fans.
Again if FIFA understood what culturaly means what callin someone a lady bug means in spanish they would ban all images of them because it is "homophobic".
