This is another post in which we trace back sophisticated ways of saying the same. Today it will be about getting angry.

Encularse is a reflexive verb that means to get angry. When a person gets upset, we say that the person ‘se enculó’.

We might advice a friend:

• No te encules, boludo. Fue un chiste.

In this particular case, the verb can take an accent on the last syllable: No te enculés. This is not as frequent, but in certain contexts you might hear it.

Rayarse works in the same way, and with both encularse and rayarse you can use the participle forms. Make sure to match the gender and number of the noun that it’s modifying

• Estoy enculada/o
• Está rayada/o
