 [NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to give offense. Which is the whole & compleat & total & entire point of insult & invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]

SPANISH:  Eres Tapu!  (f.)    

SPANISH:  Eres Tapo!  (m.)    

   

)  Youre a Slut!  /  Youre a Whore!” 

[The masculine case usually  has the added & almost invariably perjorative connotation of  Faggot!”]
