Argentinians don’t need much to swear. Curse words drop from our mouths before we realize it. But sometimes it’s so hot that it makes you swear. That’s when we use “[HACER] un calor de cagarse”:

• Hacía un calor de cagarse en el micro.
• Dicen que este fin de semana va a hacer un calor de cagarse.
• Anoche hizo un calor de cagarse. Ni con el aire se podía dormir.

You could use it to say it’s cold, too, un frío de cagarse.

Hope you start using it soon!

Until next time,
