DID SARAH PALIN REALLY SAY THE 'C' WORD? (Cajones)

A language that uses coño (the real C word) as a routine expletive has different standards...this is less common in peninsula Spanish, but incredibly common in ...

I learned that "c" word in Spain.
I spent, cummulatively, two or three years in Spain between 1970 and 1990.

The word is common across the entire country, all classes, professions and ages : from politicians to gypsy children...

In public speaking it sounds better than balls and testicles. It is more accepted slang than the other two I think.

Spanish and French are both Latin-based "romance" languages. I'm just trying to stay within the group. In speaking of testicles I happen to like the traditional Anglo-Saxon term: bollocks!

So, my question still stands why Spanish and not English, hijo de p... maricon.

You don't get it. Saying it in Spanish makes it more classier. Do you want her to talk like some potty-mouthed bartender?

Also, try and understand why she said it. She is saying out loud what many people are thinking in private. Once again, Palin cuts through the chase and produces a memorable one-liner that people will remember. In the next few days, everybody is going to be talking about this, which keeps her name in the news.

“cajones”

There is no insult being called “boxes.”

Apparently it is you who missed it.

[faucetman]

merde = $hit = Obama

Get over yourself.

You are exactly correct

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Please read my post #35, and you will see I agree with you.

The flies, KNOW

[lonestar]

She needs to stick to the one language she knows.

She knew exactly what she was saying... she meant it ...and she's right!

[bigbob]

The White House should demand an immediate investigation of this matter. I’ll bet that no cojones will be found on Gov. Brewer. OR on Obama!

[mombonn]

I was severely chastised here on FR a few years ago for using that phrase.

[Bernard Marx]

Did you figure that out all by yourself?

[geraldmcg]

lol ditto

[geraldmcg]

Yes, Sarah Palin is a one-woman wrecking ball, in a good way.

[geraldmcg]

What is the correct spelling for cajones? (as in intestinal fortitude, or in slang: testicles) ?

[geraldmcg]

No lo se. You tell me.

[geraldmcg]

You’re right. We should stick to the language we know. In my case, I know English and I was just corrected. I erroneously spelled the word: cajones when in reality I should have written: cojones. The former means boxes; the latter means testicals, as far as I know now.
