puta
Vulgar Spanish insult
Puta is Spanish for whore or prostitute, widely used as an insult throughout Spanish-speaking communities and familiar to English speakers in border regions and multicultural areas.
Like its English equivalent, it calls a woman sexually promiscuous or simply expresses contempt.
Hijo de puta (son of a whore) parallels "son of a bitch." The word appears in English contexts when code-switching or for added vulgarity.
