Quote:
Ana Maria Ramos of Dallas County, one of the most outspoken liberal voices in the Texas House, wrote a vulgarity in Spanish on the memo line of her check.

"Hijos de puta," wrote Ramos. The term translates to "mother***ers" in English.

I always thought 'puta' was *****, although I've also seen it translated as b-tch.

So hijos de puta would be sons of *****s or even sons of a b-tch.

How do they get motherf--ker from that?

The only thing I can think of is they're adapting the meaning of puta madre

Chatgpt says it's literally "sons of a b-tch" but could be translated as mother f-ckers to match tone. Apparently movie translations often go with the mf

I always thought puta was like homo or f-g, like when the Mexican soccer fans yell it during matches

I always thought it was hoor, mainly because the Italian word is puttana.

If you want to call someone a bundle of sticks in Spanish, you say joto (hoto)

I once purchased a painting from a TexAger and put "hookers and opium" in the memo line.

I put "colonoscopy" once on the memo line of a check to the city for some fee they charged. Cool starry bra.

Did you think 'sodomy' would've been too vague to get the point across?
