Wait the Spanish language uses the word "zurdo" for left-handed poeple? In Portuguese we say "canhoto"
WHAT
But yes, and if I'm not mistaken, "zurdo" and "izquierda" are some of the most used of the few Basque loanwords in Spanish

Could you possibly explain the nuances y different uses of all the words for “asshole”/“jerk”? I’ve seen cabrón, pendejo, gilipollas, etc. y never know which to use; like which are stronger or more vulgar, etc.
The truth is that they’re pretty much the same intensity. The words that you’ve listed are more regional however and have the same intensity which is more on the vulgar side.
So I’ll start vulgar and go towards the nicer versions.
The universal ones for “asshole/jerk” are pretty much cabrón/cabrona and comemierdas which are more along the lines of “asshole” or “motherfucker”.
Literally, cabrón means “large goat” but it was derived from the idea of “cuckold”. Basically goats and rams were associated with cuckolds because their horns curved inwards, and a bull was linked to Jupiter/Zeus and dominant sexual you get the idea. Basically rams (and the sign Capricorn) were sort of equated to “cuckold”. Today it’s just basic “motherfucker” and no real trace of the original meaning remains exactly, just that it’s not a nice thing to call someone. But it can exist for men or women, cabrón or cabrona which is usually a mean or nasty kind of person… or jokingly something you say to your friends because why not
And comemierdas is literally “shit-eater”
You CAN say bastardo/a if you want, but that’s kind of intense and really does feel like you just called their parentage into question. It’s much more common to say hijo de puta or hijo de perra for “son of a bitch” or something like that. But when people are saying “he’s an asshole/bastard” they translate it mostly as cabrón.
Generally, gilipollas and another word capullo are used as “asshole” in Spain. The word gilipollas is disputed with etymology but I’ve seen that it comes from Galician or Basque, or possibly caló which is a Romani kind of language in Spain. The word capullo always feels very UK to me because it literally means “cocoon” like for butterflies, but in Spain if you call someone that I read it as “knob” or “tosser” or “wanker”.
And pendejo/a is more Latin American, though el pendejo literally does mean “pube” or “a pubic hair”. In Latin America, pendejo/a isn’t super vulgar but it can be if it’s said like that. It’s generally just more impolite than flat out vulgar. It’s kind of like calling someone “dumbass” but it gets used so often that it has a variety of translations for English.
Also regional and vulgar, in Latin America, you just have to say conchatumadre or a condensed version like conchetumare which is pretty much whatever mean insult you need it to be, or it can be used sort of as “for fuck’s sake”.
If you’re going for a nicer version of “jerk” like “you’re such a jerk” rather than something very vulgar…
Usually you see it as something like ser un(a) imbécil “to be an imbecile, to be a jerk, to be a dick”. Sometimes you see cretino/a instead, but saying imbécil is kind of universal.
Otherwise you do sometimes see estúpido/a which just means “stupid”, or sometimes tarado/a “jerk, ass, moron”… I think tarado/a literally is more like “crazy” or “faulty” but I see it mostly as an insult.
In some countries you’d see a slightly more impolite word, huevón which is kind of like “asshole”. I like to think of it as Shakespearean because it really does mean “big egg” or alternatively “big testicle”.
In some countries huevón gets used as güevón. In Chile it’s used as wea or weón/weona, though full disclosure Chile uses wea and wear for almost everything. It means “thing” it means “to fool around” it means “dumbass” it means EVERYTHING. Argentina’s also fond of boludo/a
You can say necio/a “simpleton”, or ingenuo/a “naive” (not exactly “jerk” but more like “dumbass” in that kind of context). Some people say bobo/a or tonto/a which are “fool”
I always liked the sound of mameluco/a “moron” but I think that might be regional?
TLDR: For universal applications, if you want something vulgar say cabrón/cabrona. If you’re calling someone “jerk” and you want to be mean but not flat out cursing at them, call them imbécil.
6 Tools I’m Trying Out Next Year
The idea of Matt Miller’s post “I just can’t do it all: The connected educator letdown” really resonated with me. It talked about only incorporating one or two things a year, because trying to take on every new gadget and gizmo could lead to burnout. Seeing that reflected in another teacher’s experience lifts the pressure off of my shoulders when giving myself the freedom to pick and choose, and try new things; knowing that, if something wasn’t working, I could put it on the back shelf for next year. There are thousands of websites, programs, and other materials out there for teachers to use. These tools can enrich, inspire, and manage a classroom better. However, trying to add 12 different tools at once can bog a teacher down.
A big goal for myself next year is standards based grading. A gradebook with standards-based columns and grades out of 4 is going to be better for my students, their parents, and me. This year I have stumbled across a number of different websites and tools that I can’t wait to incorporate into my class. Most of these may not be new to everybody, but a few may be new to somebody, and that’s good enough for me. Stick around this next school year as I post about using these tools in my class.

My mom teaches Kindergarten and I went to her classroom a few days ago and saw what appeared to be a small shrine dedicated to Jodie Foster in the corner of the room and I had literally no idea why it was there, so I asked my mom about it and she said it’s where the kids can go to tattle on each other so they don’t always do it to her
So basically my mom tells her little Kindergarteners to tell on each other to a magazine clipping of Jodie Foster that they call Miss Tattle and if you don’t think that’s the funniest thing then get out of my face
OMG, I can’t.
Oh man yeah this is a super common thing, we have one of these in my preschool room, too, except ours is a picture of Obama. When the kids are upset or angry or want to tattle or whatever they “Go tell the President” and its my favorite thing.
