When speaking Costa Rican Spanish, avoid these offensive words: “Playo” is a homophobic slur. “Hijueputa” is an extremely vulgar maternal insult. “Malparido” is a strong insult implying someone was badly born. “Piedrero” (crackhead) is highly offensive. Even seemingly mild terms like “idiay” can be rude if used inappropriately.
