Don’t sound like una momia–add a little sizzle to your Spanish!
If someone called you tragaldabas would you be insulted or flattered? If you shouted ¡Mota! in the street, would you expected to get a cab or get arrested? Thanks to The Red-Hot Book of Spanish Slang and Idioms, you’ll always know your tejemaneje (scheme) from your merequetengue (mess) no matter where you find yourself in the Spanish-speaking world. Five thousand words and phrases–plus helpful hints as to what’s cordial and what’s vulgar–keep you in sync with Spanish slang.
