Did you know?
- While English speakers use the word 'pants' for both trousers and underwear, pantalones specifically refers to trousers. To describe soiled underwear, a speaker would use calzones or bragas depending on the country.
- In many Spanish-speaking cultures, the term cagado is used idiomatically to mean someone is terrified. If a person is cagado de miedo, they are literally 'shitting themselves' with fear.
- In certain slang contexts in Spain, the verb cagar is also used idiomily to mean 'to mess up' or 'to fail', much like the English phrase 'to screw up'.
