**Sapo** , we Spaniards use “(vete) a tomar por el culo” to mean “go take it up the butt” and while years ago it certainly had homophobic implications, now a days, again, it’s usually not used in said context but rather interjected as a jocular expression of disagreement between friends. As in someone says “Maria esta buenisima” and you retort, “vete a tomar por el culo! si la tia es un feto!” And although I apologize for taking you for a Puertorican, I still maintain what I wrote before vis-a-vis the coqui, sapo and Puerto Rico. Been there a ton of times since the late-sixties and have seen sapos/coquis up the kazoo on any number of tourist trinkets. Never mind that the name itself is used on a [myriad of things](http://www.google.com/search?q=Puerto+Rico+%2B+sapo&btnG=Search&hl=en&sa=2), from rivers to hotels to companies. ---

I am married to one and father of two. Happy to be here. And yes, coquis are most definitely the Puerto Rican icon to the world. My choice of Sapo as a handle had nothing to do with it, though (the explanation for that is complicated and boring even to me, so I won’t bother you with it). ---

So, tell me this… A man gets butt raped by another man and he goes to the hospital with a sore anus. What would he tell the doctor his problem is? ---

What would he tell the doctor his problem is? “Help me doctor, I was anally raped and I’m butthurt”. “Butthurt? You mean your anus is sore?” “It is, but I mean I didn’t really put up a struggle.” ---

> [@DudleyGarrett](#): > > Jeez, don’t Spanish-speakers get hemorrhoids? Yes, and we would say “coño que tengo este racimo de uvas que las arrastro”. ETA: Now seriously. One would say “me duele el culo” (my butt hurts). Would you (in English) tell the doctor you are butthurt? I would say that my butt hurts, not that I am butthurt.

> [@Scissorjack](#): > > They stick frogs up their bums for the tourists? No, a kazoo is a musical instrument. Apparently they shove frogs into [these things](http://www.aues21.dsl.pipex.com/images/metalKazoo.jpg). It seems a little cruel, I must say. (Clarification image [here](http://www.io.com/~sjohn/lcb-kazoo.gif).) > [@Omegaman](#): > > What the hell? 6 sapitas or sapitos running around in the world? In Spanish, mixed-gender groups can be referred to with the masculine noun/adjective, so “Sapitos” would be correct assuming that least one of the children is male. Or you can avoid the whole issue with a neat practice that seems to be coming into vogue lately: “Sapit@s”. Hostile Dialect, Hostile Dialect, Narcissist ---

“Tomar por el culo” is the direct complement of “dar por el culo”. Go together like a horse and carriage. If you get my drift. > [@DudleyGarrett](#): > > Jeez, don’t Spanish-speakers get hemorrhoids? Hummingbirds get hemorrhoids the size of golf balls. Then they get cranky and bite. ---

Seriously, I think you’ve clearly shown that \*\*Colibri \*\*(the poster, not the Moderator of course ;)) is a GIANT fucking PUSSY, but still I am not interested in having my sword (or cross or dagger) anywhere near that little girl.
