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

SPANISH:  Ojalatero!  (s.)  /  Ojalateros!   (pl.)   ‡

    

‡)  “Wishful thinker!”  / “Wishful thinkers!”  =  i.e.,  “You wish,  you lying revisionist sack of shite!”

[NOTE: Used by Cubans to describe armchair freedom fighters wh0 fantasised & later lied abt joining Castro’s revolution against Bautista,  but who at most wrote a bit of graffiti or attended one demonstration,  from a safe unteargassable distance.  Ted Cruz,  Canadian-born Cuban exile,  & 2016 Republicoño US Presidential Candidate,  always talks abt his father throwing bombs & running guns & enduring horrible torture & interogation.  Ted Cruz’s father repeats these stories for the Teabag lecture circuit, only his story changes from time to time to time.  & there is no corroboration whatsofucking ever in Cuba for the Cruz family’s assertions & claims...]
