Cacafuego

Postby Grogie » Sun Nov 02, 2008 10:42 am

I remember discovering this word a few years ago. It,s a ''boaster or braggart''. ''Most people don,t like cacafuegos.''

Systranet didn't translate Cacafuego, but splitting it into two words it translated Caca fuego as Poop fire, :shock: which seems appropriate for describing a braggart, since many of them are just a cacacabeza. :lol:

Well, braggarts are generally regarded as being full of it. And we do like to tell them "Sh." So, now we can put the two together in a weird word.

And, if you had too many spicy wings last night, you could always say, "Boy, do I have a nasty case of cacafuego today."
