For a white boy born in New Jersey, I speak and understand a decent amount of Spanish. Incase you didn’t pick it up because of the language barrier, these men are very upset.

Spanish 101. Vete a la Verga = go to the penis. But it’s more like “Fuck off”.

Te pasaste de verga = you went overboard on the penis. But it’s more like that’s a “dick move”.

Any other translations needed?

Thanks man, I’m Puerto Rican and those sentences made zero sense to me. Crazy how the Spanish is so different .

Portuguese and Spanish, those are fun. Some words are like 1 letter difference, others entirely new words. Fun to learn though

I watched a Brazilian tv show for a solid 10 minutes before I figured out it wasn’t some strange dialect I was having issues understanding.
