Como el culo | Para el orto = Very badly

Hello! How are things?

We have these two beautiful alternatives to “muy mal”. Although technically we could stick to the latter, the other two are far more frequent in daily (informal) conversation.

First, you need to know that both culo and orto are words for ass, so the poetry of the expression is unclear. Let me give you a few examples:

-¿Cómo te sentís?
-Como el culo. Me duele todo.

-¿Cómo te fue en la entrevista?
-Para el orto. Estaba muy nerviosa y no pude responder bien lo que me preguntaban.

“Como” and “Para” can change places and you can also say “como el orto” and “para el culo”.

Hope you liked this one,

Happy Spanish learning!
