'Go right to hell', Chavez tells Tony Blair
2006-02-11
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez told British Prime Minister Tony Blair to "go right to hell" on Wednesday after Blair said Venezuela should abide by the principles of democracy. Chavez accused Blair of bowing to Washington's interests and being "shameless" and "immoral".

"Stay in your place, Mr Blair, you are not one that has the morality to criticise anyone," Chavez said during a speech. "Venezuela is a free nation. Do you believe we're still in times of imperialism and colonialism? Go right to hell, Mr Blair," Chavez said, using local slang that is more vulgar.

#14  I might have an incentive, but all the insults I remember are "moricon" (?)

It is mAricón. Slang for male homosexual.
Also Mariconazo: Big male homosexual.

Another one: Cabrón: guy who is cheated by his wife. There is too an augmentative: Cabronazo.

#12  Not just with Saddam. He is also very close to: the Persian nut, Hamas which has already been invated for a visit, the Libyan nut, the Farc, the North Korean nut, the coca nut Evo, the peruvian nut Humula, the syrian nut, and every other terrorist organization on earth.

#9  I *suck* at spanish, even if I studied it at school (sucked back then, I was much better in latin, which I have totally forgotten too), haven't spoken a single word of it in a decade... now, if the interesting porn sites were in spanish, I might have an incentive, but all the insults I remember are "moricon" (?).

Bah, I'd simply give the finger, simple mais de bon goût.

#8  Chavez obviously needs a refresher in the superior lexicon of Spanish cursing: http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/spanish.htm


The insults are defintely not Spanish. Most of them look like American ones translated to Spanish while classic Spanish insults are missing. Now I am only versed in Spanish profanity not in South-American or Central-American ones.

#7  Looking at hugos picture; me thinks he'll use his reason & his authority as lexicon in chief, to legally change his name to "Cookie Dough"

#6  Ugh this piece is on the clock
"Venezuela is a free nation.

Taking odds on when the Free part becomes arbitrarily assigned its new meaning.

hugo has a good idea that his continued success is tied to his ability to exercise his freedom as editor and thief of the venezuelan lexicon.

http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/spanish.htm

However, I will add that even this site is just for the baser and less refined Spanish curses. The truly impressive Spanish curses don't even get started until you incorporate references to Medical Doctors, Priests, dogs, various Catholic Saints, extended family members, witchcraft, and food items, simultaneously.
