One of my students said collo today in class. “Coyo.” He told me it meant “neck.” I am skeptical.
For your time, I’ll give you a ride in my CTS V when I get one
never
in a year or two.

Gringo here, but I know neck is “cuello”. I think collo works too.

I put “neck” into google translate and it gave me “cuello”

as long as he didn’t say “culo.”

Perhaps it’s the ever so minor difference in the language depending where you are.
Some say ahorita meaning now now
Other say ahorita meaning little later.
Maybe he said culo and that means totally different thing.

He called you a donkey’s asshole, based on the Japanese I know.

Pronounced as a “y” sound, coullo is quite likely.
Pronounced as a “l” sound, he said culo.

Thanks for the reply.
Send an email to the moderators at oppomoderator@gmail.com and ask them if you can be granted authorship. Give this a read:

Takes about two minutes. Tell them you’ve read it. I can’t speak for them, but they’ll probably let you in.

Well, that’s what I’m trying to figure out. I knew he was skating close to the edge of something. I’m always ear hustling my students. This particular lad I’m being on pretty hard, trying to get him to bring more young man and less little boy.

I’ll let his parents figure it out. Be calling them right now...

It is actually spelled coño. And if he said it in class, you should probably talk with his parents. Nothing too bad tho.

Thanks. I talked to Dad and asked him to ask his son what he was talking about.

My friends are Dominican and Cuban. Heard it all the time. Equivalent of saying “shit” in frustration.

That would fit also. I’m not looking to get anybody punished, only to raise the level of discourse generally.
Thanks for the reply.
