Caramba Edit Meaning

1.

Caramba is a common word used for expressing positive/negative reaction to an event. It's used mainly by people of Latin America (Mexico&Colombia that I know of) but in Portugal as well.

Is used frequently combined with Ay (see examples).

If a translation has to be given, the most proper would be "gee" or "om my god". There is also an opinion which states that caramba is "the nice way to say" carajo,which is used like the slang shit!.

-Ay Caramba!Estos americanos son tan gordos como mi mama!

-Ay Caramba!Those Americans are so fat as my mother.

(apparently the speaker has a fat mother)

-Caramba!Que guapa que estas mamasita!

-Caramba!You're very beautiful mamasita!

See carajo, shit, caramba, ay, mexican

2.

a Spanish expression that is the equivalent of "FUCK!" and/or "SHIT!".

<<note:It is actually a very handy word when you can't curse in English since everyone will think you're a foul-mouthed bunghole. Instead, use this word and people either MIGHT be impressed with your Spanish or look at you as if you've gone ga-ga & have no fucking idea what you've just said....OR be a subject of ridicule if you're saying this word around a bunch of Spanish-speaking people.>>

<jose:>Ay caramba! Tu padre esta un maricon hijo de puta?!

Translation:

<1.>:OH FUCK! Your dad is a gay-ass son of a bitch?!
