When speaking Uruguayan Spanish, avoid these offensive terms: “Pelotudo” is highly insulting, meaning “idiot.” “Concha de tu madre” is an extremely vulgar maternal insult. “Puto” can be a homophobic slur. “Bobeta” is offensive, similar to “dimwit.” Even common slang like “botija” (kid) can be inappropriate in formal situations.
