Would you vote for Donald Trump for POTUS?

If he were to either buy my vote outright as others have suggested, or start up some sort of concentration camp and tattoo my arm–those are the only ways I’d vote Donald Turdface.

Since pendejo literally means pubic hair, I guess I’ll have to leave it at home. Sad because it just rolls off your tongue.

Living in Southern California, one learns all the “good” Spanish words first. I actually followed what you were saying there.

You pretty much touched all the bases. :slight_smile:

Perhaps that’s where our disappeared OP has gone… to fill a need. You might be able to find this on Reddit by in the morning.

[Made ya look! :p]

God, one can only hope that bigots who think like that are in the minority. If so, I suggest we celebrate.

Indeed, careful with that word if you are not friends with others already.

That does match what I do remember how it was used in the old country, it can be very insulting unless you do know very well the one that you are launching the word at. All this did remind me of the “Scientific classification of the Pendejos” from the classic “Picardia Mexicana” by Armando Jiménez (I’m mostly paraphrasing a few definitions from the satiric book about types of politicians, these can be directed at Trump and his followers: )

"THE LUCKY PENDEJO
They are the opposite of those described above; they live happy because the heavens, the “votes” or their privileged situation according to them, has made them achieve small successes that only they deserve, other PENDEJOS and others less privileged like them consider those successes to be giant wins.

THE OPTIMISTIC PENDEJO
Are the salt and pepper of humanity: naive, cheerful and talkative, prone to seek treasures, mining and groundwater; they buy whole series of lottery tickets, bet everything they have in casinos, believe in the truthfulness of wrestling and that voting is fair.

THE PENDEJO WITH INITIATIVE
Has a mania for big projects; sometimes they are eloquent and manage to persuade many people. Beware, if you are convinced, it is that you are more PENDEJO than they are."

XT and GIGO … thank you for bringing your culture with you to the United States. If you could, please, help make it part of what it means to be an American. I’m glad you’re here, it makes our nation stronger.

Alas, I’m a whitie … how do you pronounce pendejo?

Don’t fret…my wife is white as the new fallen snow (German/Irish ancestry, 3rd generation Americans) and my kids speak zero Spanish.

You pronounce it pen-day-ho, depending on how you pronounce English phonetically. There is probably a Youtube video or some such where you can hear the term used, since, basically, it’s one of the most used curse or swear words, at least in my own circles and when I’m back home in the old neighborhood. Depending on who you are saying it to and how you say it will determine whether the knives come out or if your buddy says something equally rude but well meant back at you. :stuck_out_tongue:

The OP came in after 10 years just to mention that fuckwad Trump?!?

Well, I was going for colorful at least. Spanish is funny, since depending on the region swear or curse words change. I’m from Sonora originally, and my family pretty much lives in Arizona and Sonora still, so pretty much the same as Southern California. Other regions there are differences, especially other Spanish speaking countries (and Spain of course is a whole 'nother thing).

IMHO, Spanish is THE best language to curse in though…much more colorful than English. The only problem is, a lot of the really juicy swear words are known now in the US, so you have to be careful. Even if someone doesn’t know exactly what you are saying, they know they are being insulted…and in a lot of cases, a loud tu madre! or Chinga madre! will get a raised eyebrow these days. Gone are the days when you could say such in a mild, happy voice and have people smile back at you as if nothing were wrong. :wink:

The wikidictionary reports that it is already a word, borrowed indeed.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pendejo

With the xo sounding more like “ho”

But it is better to hear it as XT mentions it:

(NSFW kid’s profanity)

The original was such a big meme among Hispanics that the makers of the “Roman Emperor” Chocolate financed the revenge for the kid that did fall.

:slight_smile:

I was afraid of that … so I should be mad at my Mexican neighbors?

Well, since this is the pit a special mention should go to poster Chen019 (that just came to support Trump here and elsewhere) who is one of the current resident scientific racists of the SDMB(brazil84 is also one of them)

Why that does not hold, from the not liberal Chamber of Commerce:

Chen, you are a pendejo indeed.

I’m not gonna read all of this shit, I just dropped by to remark that the OP’s California doesn’t have anything to do with the state I live in and love.
And really, some Walmarts just need trashing.

Mine showed up in the 1600s looking for freedom from religious oppression in England. They found it, and promptly started to oppress other people in the name of religion.

I kid. My ancestors were Quakers, not Puritans. But still, the point remains that Anglos weren’t exactly invited to move into the neighborhood. They just didn’t think of it that way because the current residents of the new country were, you know…brown. And heathens. And talked funny. So *obviously *they needed the white folks to colonize the country and teach them the ways of god and so on. Oh, and steal all the good land.

Style points for calling the OP pendejo, BTW.

I hear you. I can’t get too upset about trashed Walmarts. I mean, they’re Walmarts.

ETA: to answer the OP’s question, I will vote for Donald Trump when hell freezes over, monkeys fly out of my butt, and the sun sets in a blazing red sky in the east. All on the same day.

Sure. Let’s introduce a little anarchy into the system. What else are you gonna do, vote Hillary? And then what? Wear a seat belt on the drive home and have safe sex in the missionary position? Live a little.

I might have been a liar if Palin had not told Charles Gibson,

in the context of explaining her knowledge about Russia. However, she did say that in that context, which means that your false accusation makes you the liar, (as usual).

Perhaps this will help. :smiley:

I thought it meant “my real good friend”.

Have you noticed that Trump and certain other morons (such as the OP) don’t gripe about immigrant populations from Germany or England? They’re hung up on people they can visually decide “aren’t really Americans” or “don’t really belong in America” no matter how many generations the target’s family has been in the US, and sometimes the target’s family has been in the US longer than the griper’s.

Give Trump credit for one thing. Many GOP politicians deliberately pander to the same racism that Trump does, but they use codes (subtleties or indirections) so they can disclaim. Trump is willing to address the GOP base on its own level.

This is why I’m rooting for the impossible November: Sanders -vs- Trump! Many progressives view Hillary as a flawed imitation of a liberal. And Bush and the other goblins are only a pale reflection of the fears and disgusts driving the right-wing. Why not give the American electorate the choice it really wants?
