I have this:

> [@](#):
>
> “Eh se, la verga, hoto, to concha en me verga, hoto chingate hey man, you know what that means huh?” I didn’t, since I didn’t understand Spanish, but it didn’t sound good. “You suck my dick you fucking hoto pansy I can smell you ooso cuyo. Conchato like you, you pussy.”

My editor writes:

> [@](#):
>
> You need to check your Spanish syntax and spelling here. I know it’s wrong. For example, hoto should be spelled joto. But I don’t know Spanish (we don’t have a Spanish editor on staff) and it’s very important to have this right.

It doesn’t have to be perfect grammar (might even be best if it isn’t) but it should sound and read like something a homophobic Hispanic dude would say, and a little less like a monolingual Anglo’s fuzzy memory of what he said.

Well, I agree with the editor. I can’t tell what’s what. Is “eh se” supposed to be _ese_? Is the “to” English? Should “chingate hey” have a comma? Maybe italicize the Spanish words for easier parsing.

I guess it may not have been obvious from my OP, but I don’t know Spanish! I have a decent memory for the syllables I heard but it’s an approximation;

“eh se” might be “ese”, I don’t know… I heard people start off sentences with it pretty often. Where I wrote “to” (6th word) the sound was closer to “toe” than the English preposition “to”. Might have been “do” or maybe a contraction of some sort?

I can help with at least the first part of this, but the last part is hard to figure out.

Besa la verga, joto. = Kiss the (meaning “my”) dick, faggot.

To is probably Tu, meaning your.

Tu concha en mi verga, joto. = Your pussy on my dick, faggot.

Chingate. = Fuck you. (Can also mean Go fuck yourself.)

Uso = Use, I use, I will use.

Cuyo = whose

Conchato is not a word so far as I can tell … maybe he said Conchita, which can mean My little cunt? So, Uso cuyo conchato = I use your little cunt?
