Ese tipo es una gonorrea, nunca cumple lo que promete.That guy is a total scumbag, he never keeps his word.marica
used as an insult or as a casual intensifier depending on context and regionexpressionvulgarIn Colombian and much of Latin American Spanish, this term is deeply offensive when hurled at someone as an insult, but in some informal Colombian speech it can function between close friends as a filler or intensifier, context and tone are everything. The episode uses it as an insult and a sharp command. Learners should be very cautious with this word.
No seas marica y dime la verdad de una vez.Stop messing around and tell me the truth already.
