"coger" means fuck in latin america, but not in Spain where we use it as "grab/pick" normally. It causes fun reactions to latinamericans visiting or living in Spain for sure as it's used a lot.
"correr" is also "run" in Spanish, we share a lot of words with Portuguese . π΅πΉ
Interesting. I have never heard of coger being fuck and the only Spanish I speak is with latinamericans. Is it a more recent slang?
slang but not new slang as it's widely used and it's even in the RAE dictionary (31 point).
Seemingly used in central america, Argentina, Bolivia, MΓ©xico, Uruguay, Venezuela and Dominican Republic.
maybe you mostly talk to Colombians? they don't have that meaning of coger afaik.
In order of frequency I would guess: Cuban, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, Argentina, and then the rest.
I learned it meant fuck when I was taking Spanish classes in Texas in the 90s.
