ElPlop.Com – is a great site to look up Spanish slang, jargon, and idioms. Readers can add their own definitions and rank other’s. I wish more people put English definitions there for the Spanish slang words

As a general rule, I always know at least one random/slang phrase in the local language where ever I go. No matter how random it seems, there's always some use for it. And people really appreciate when you make an effort to speak in their language. Wil from Spot Cool Travel’s last blog post..5 Amazing Towns on Perilous Cliff Sides

great post! just two things:

- Más majo que la mar salada doesn’t mean Incredibly nice, it means you are really nice person.

- and ¡Te voy a dar! is not You’re going to get it!, it’s I’m going to kick you.

It could be funny if you use them in the wrong way

Happy holidays!

Mil gracias! I’ve now got an arsenal of phrases to randomly spout off at people in the middle of downtown Portland. It matters not that I’m not Latino. They’d simply think I’m a lunatic.

Gracias, pero los encontré on facebook!

I agree with you, some are really funny. I might do another list with more Spanish slang.

Me encantan tus slangs. I’m from Puerto Rico, so I can relate to a lot of these and some are just out of control funny. Spanish people have some crazy sayings…My favorites:

No es moco de pavo (what the hell does that mean?!)

Mas vale una vez rojo que 20 amarillo (i’m gonna start using this one)

No tiene ni pies ni cabeza (my grandmother loves this one)
