Love it, Juan. Spucatum is a new one for me. It's not even in my Feelthy words in Latin book. All they have is caco, merda, stercus and fimus, the last two being polite and the first, at least originally, babytalk.

Do you know that kind of persons that understand jokes and laugh...just five minutes after the end? That's me (at least about English sentences).So,I translated the sentence, and understood it... after a serious attempt to write an answer about the huge level of unpoliteness of caco, merda...
When I signed here, I would never suppose that I will eventually discuss this kind of things!

I like these from the Belorussian, Vika :

>pizdziczy ( adj )
extremely talkative Ex.: John vel'mi pizdziuczy bo jon moz*a pizdziec' pjac' hadzin biez perapynku. John is extremely talkative because he can speak for 5 hours with no breaks.

pizdziuk ( masc. noun, pl.: pizdziuki )
one who talks too much Ex.: John pizdziuk bo jon moz*a pizdziec' pjac' hadzin biez perapynku. John talks too much because he can speak for 5 hours with no breaks.<

Is pizdziczy pronounced pizh-zhi-zhy?

Am red-faced and mildly confused too. I always thought of slang as informal speech reflecting a change in language patterns that occurs in tandem with evolving socio-cultural mores. This site however seems to focus on informal speech with specific reference to only one subject. I tried many languages (at least seven or eight) and under each, the content was pretty much the same. Which brings me to two questions, one of which is relevant to the board.
1. Considering the nature of the bulk of the contents, should there be a new word concocted for subject specific slang such as this? Is there one already?
2. (mental ramble)It seems to me that the creator of the site is looking for contributions of expressions of slang. Yet the persistent emphasis by contributors on one matter alone leaves me feeling bewildered and wondering as to the reasons why?
I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but at the same time, can't ignore the fact that I am somewhat bothered.
Have I misunderstood and misinterpreted slang all along?
