#Spanish speakers: is there a less obscene alternative to "chinga"?
In American English, if I didn't want to be quite as obscene as "fuck ICE" I could say "screw ICE" which for some reason is not quite as nasty, despite literally meaning the same thing.
Does Spanish have that?
Or is that a weirdness of my puritanical culture?
@springdiesel I know an alternative to chinga that would make it less Mexican but not less vulgar: jode. ("que les jodan" is how a Spanish friend once said "fuck 'em" to me)
@federicomena got a minced oath you'd've used when your kid was little?
@maco @springdiesel "a la fregada con ICE"?
Dunno why you wouldn't want to be vulgar with them, TBH.
Oh I'm happy to be vulgar with THEM. It's innocent bystander children and their parents I'm concerned about.
@springdiesel @maco "al carajo con ICE" works too.
