pirobo
idiot, bastard; also a loose term of address between friendsexpressionvulgarFunctions similarly to gonorrea on the register scale: both insult and affectionate address, determined entirely by tone. More directly derogatory than gonorrea when used as an insult. Strongly associated with Medellín popular barrio speech.
Ese pirobo me debe plata desde hace tres meses y no da la cara.That idiot has owed me money for three months and won't show his face.gonorrea
dude, man (address between friends); also a strong insult depending on toneexpressionvulgarLiterally a venereal disease, but in Colombian street speech it functions as an all-purpose address between close male friends, similar to 'bro', and simultaneously as a harsh insult when directed at an enemy. Tone and context determine which meaning applies. It is strongly marked as lower-class Medellín street register and would be shocking in formal or mixed company.
¡Qué más, gonorrea! ¿Cuándo llegaste de viaje?What's up, man! When did you get back from your trip?
