One of my great grandmother's favorite phrase when we were misbehaving was "vas a cagar pelos sin comer mango!" Literally it translates to "you're going to shit hairs with having eaten mangoes." Basically, it means you'll be in serious trouble. I guess it comes from the fact that mangoes are fuzzy and presumably you poop the fibers out, but you if you don't stop misbehaving you'll be in so much trouble you won't even have to eat the mango to poop the hairs. It strikes me a lot of Cuban phrases derive from bowel movements! Also, the full version of "me cago en diez!" is "me cago en dios cabron!" Another PC version is "me cazo en diez!"
Great video! I'm an Argentinian teacher of English. I've never been to the USA but I came across one of your videos and fell in love with the Latino characters, with whom I feel so identified, and the Spanglish. I love linguistics. So funny and interesting to notice the patterns of Spanish-English mix. BTW, tremendo paquete would also be understood as male junk in my country. Bendiciones!
@@ignaciosx I'm pretty sure they mean 'Wal-Mart'. Most Cuban grandparents don't know how to pronounce English words correctly. My Cuban grandparents say 'Mag-don- na' instead of McDonald's.
Im a white American women ...I live in Miami and lived in the Keys for years ...I love her!!! I love the Cuban culture and the humour the coffee the food .I moved to northern Florida and was bored senseless came back ...Viva Miami 😘
Wow, straight Cubana right out the gate, love it!! I'm not Hispanic, I'm from the U.K. But love all things Cuban , can't wait to go back there!!Jenny me encanta este vídeo, muchas gracias!! Me encanta todas las cosas de Cuba 🇨🇺!! 🤣🤣🤣👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@hiphipjorge5755 we learned spanish from spain first when columbus came over and over the years with spain rulling cuba and some conquistadors coming over to they islands
de pinga! or if you don't want to be so vulgar then "del carajo". The first version is one I say often. If something is unbelievably bad then you can say "Eso esta de pinga!"
@Ludd Zarko Señalé que la frase era vulgar y ofrecía una versión un poco menos vulgar. Independientemente de que sea vulgar, sigue siendo una frase bastante popular y generalmente se usa entre amigos. Además, sigue siendo uno de mis favoritos.
Living on the hyphen is a concept found in a lot of latino/latina literature. Studied it through many different writers and for a couple of semesters in grad school. :)
I'm not Latina at all, but I am learning Spanish and all of these videos give me a great sense of pride in learning about all of these beautiful cultures and this amazing language, despite not having a family background in it.
I LOVE THIS!!! "Temendo paquete" en PR is a "Big lie" I never understood why people say, "Me cago en diez!" (I've said it a lot) Now I get where it comes from! Thanks! En PR, se dice, "Arroz con culo"
Cuban-American poet Gustavo Perez Firmat wrote a book called "living on the hyphen." "Tremendo paquete" means either a big lie (me conto tremendo paquete) or something really annoying (ay caro wants me to join her club, me metio en tremendo paquete)
Hey Jenny! Great video! Oye, I heard you say your friend came up with "Living on the Hyphen". That's actually a book by Gustavo Perez Firmat, so that's probably where he/she got it from. Clever indeed.
Like the word Bistec in Cuba , moms and abuelitas used to say ‘’I’m gonna cook some Bistec for dinner ‘’ ( if you’re a real Cuban you know what I’m talking about) I just realized that Bistec means Beef Stake 😂😂😂
Brought me back to my Abuela's living room when the whole family came over. Also known as every day of the week. I'm from Peru but was adopted into a Cuban family.
Mateo era un vecino de abuelita y abuelo desde Publix y Winn-Dixie. Sadly, she is long dead, and I still try to relive the memory of her beautiful accent and wonderful smile. Her aching back and complaining about the weird strangers walking from Winn-Dixie. She was always careful to tell my abuelo to stay put and hold my hand while I jogged with him down the sidewalk and jammed down in the Saturn car from the small shed with the ruined tarp. The windows had those awful metal bars to keep intruders out and always kept the windows closed and blinds closed to block out the sun. Those beautiful trees my grandparents had. How sick they were, and I cried so hard. I lost my mom's mom when I was 8 years old, so I really don't know what happened to her. The dog is so old and becoming blind to remember them. She is so depressed when they left her and knew of their souls along with their spirits passing on. I'm still mourning and grieving. It's like I'm clouded by 3-4 generations of spirits and ended up with a demon along with possibly two other demons. I feel really weird and weak. Soulless and completely dead. Like I don't exist.
In a way Cuba reminds me of Ecuador only because , in South America Colombia Venezuela and Ecuador were part of a nation , until they became independent anyway , around a time , Ecuador helped Cuba , I believe they kind of opened doors for them , and apparently some Cubans stayed in Ecuador!! In Guayaquil we use a lot of their words , jama, oye, uItima/o Coca Cola del desierto, socio , chor, believe there’s more but in a way , I Kind can say I respect Cubans a lot more then any other country in the Caribbean only because there very strict people , Puerto Rican’s and Dominicans are more like gente chevere relajado which isn’t a problem , but a person like me , el tipo serio , es la movida !!!
RAMIREZ SUPPORTS ANONYMOUS most Mexicans including myself, can’t stand the east coast Cuban/Dominican and Puerto Rican accent or slang. It’s frowned on as tacky and annoying.
coming from a spanish-speaking white american muslim from each: the west coast and the east coast, yet trying to flee the country, this is the best cuban girl ever
maybe it's diff with your generation,Jenny; but "Tremenda Muela" was always a male reference,. A dude with a good chat up game, or "rapeo"; as in rap[to talk],b4 the advent of rap, as in Hip-Hop.
Good job guys. Paquete-Lie or exaggeration. Me cago en diez-Possible origin, but it progressed to "me cago en diez cabrones" Tremenda muela- Also means too much talking, not only talking to influence. "Chor", "Teni" Socio, socia- Asociado, asociada Some words not mentioned: Asere-compadre, comadre, compay 🚗 car- Maquina, caballo, cacharro, pisa y corre That's all for now.
trompetayritmo Then you probably haven't spoken to many Cubans, especially the older ones. Maybe you should talk more with them as there is evidence you haven't spoken to them enough.
Nothing "Spanglish" about Cuban Spanish. If that is so, then taco bell and Chipotle are "Engspannol". Reggueton destroyed the Cuban language and culture , and has nothing to do with Cubans. This was the Cuban lowlife response to Communism. Loved the video.🤣
THANK YOU SO MUCH YEAH WE CUBANS GIRLS ARE SO SEXY WITH BEAUTIFUL UNIQUE BEAUTY I'M FULL CUBAN PROUDLY PROUD TO BE CUBAN MAMACITA MAMA WAPAAAA I LIVE IN SAN JOSE CALIFORNIA I ❤ CUBA🍍🌹🌞🌴🌟🌺💖💕❤
Blue jeans? We don't say that in Cuba...we call them "pitusa". Also, "paquete" is not "drama", it is something like."a huge lie", something too difficult to believe. Actually, "paquetero" is a person who tells lies constantly. Also, "mami" does not necessarily mean "hot woman". It will depend on the intonation and context. Just think that women also use it, referring to other women. It's just an endearing term most of the time.
I can’t imagine this accent being used In a professional or intellectual conversation. Soo Tacky. And please don’t bring Mexicans into this. There’s is absolutely no comparison.

Hilarious video but the edit beeps...too loud. 🙄
lol I will lower them in the future :)
For Boricuas tremendo paquete is a big lie (fish tale) and a paquetero is a person who tells tall tales. :-)
nice to know :)
Same thing in Cuba...
goes both ways...tremendo paquete has 2 meanings. could be big lie or a man with big balls & Dick. lol
Also for Cubans!
Omg she is gorgeous

Your beeps are WAY too strong and loud
I agree, they are obnoxious. lower the damn bleeps...!
Ik
What about "Galleta" for "slap you across the face"
Is the fly swatter Cuban thing cause I remember my Abuela using it on us and when I told my other Latino friend they acted like I was crazy
Hannah Garcia the fly swatted was used by all race and nationality to swat their kids. From whites, blacks and Latinos.
I can't relte to everything but I do a decent amount of things having recent eastern European ancestry and a Catholic family.
THIS IS SOOO TRUE AND THE BEST!!!!!
Trememnda muela no tremendo !!!!

Me cago en diez-Possible origin, but it progressed to "me cago en diez cabrones"
Tremenda muela- Also means too much talking, not only talking to influence.
"Chor", "Teni"
Socio, socia- Asociado, asociada
Some words not mentioned:
Asere-compadre, comadre, compay
🚗 car- Maquina, caballo, cacharro, pisa y corre
That's all for now.
Alain Castillo paquete or paquetero is PRican slang.... I live in Miami area and hardly ever ever heard a Cuban use that.
trompetayritmo Then you probably haven't spoken to many Cubans, especially the older ones. Maybe you should talk more with them as there is evidence you haven't spoken to them enough.
Alain Castillo is true the older cubans used words our joung cubans wee don't used anymore
omg that beep to cover the cuss words hurts my ears, like you guys are talking so quiet and then the beep makes my ears bleed 😩😩😩😭
Hilarious! So familiar.

The thing with Latinx content targeted to non latinx people is that I never know if they are laughing with us or at us
latino
Who the hell is a latinx

Los Angela it’s called being A.D.D. I was diagnosed with it at a young age. Our minds can’t focus and starts to wander else where.
