¡Cuidado! Bad Words in Colombian Spanish You Should Avoid

In Colombian Spanish, steer clear of these offensive terms: “Hijueputa” (son of a b****) is extremely vulgar. “Gonorrea” is used as a strong insult. “Marica,” while sometimes used casually among friends, can be a homophobic slur. “Pendejo” (idiot) is offensive in most contexts. Be cautious with “pichurria” (worthless), as it can be quite insulting.
