Ahh, I see what you mean.

Now that I listen to it again it does sound like he's saying ironico.

hi can anyone help with this not sure if its slang on not but was speaking on chat with someone whom is spanish and they said " Bay"

would that mean bye or does it have another meaning ?

yes, it means 'bye' you may find also some people say 'chao' (for 'ciao').... just spelt as they sound LOL

lol it gets a bit odd because Im trying to learn spanish and it gets quite annoying when im writing with them and they send me messages back and the spelling is not correct , makes it harder to learn lol

LOL... I know what you mean; however, the vast majority of spanish speakers spell it like that (at least when writing/chatting in spanish)... so, don't get annoyed & get used to it

Bellaco/Bellaca means different things to different folks. My ex, who's Colombian, used the word to suggest that something was disagreeable or bad. For example on a rainy day she commented that "el dia esta bellaco, no?". I am Puerto Rican and to use the word bellaco means horny. The sexual connotation of the word means that it's not a nice word to use around people so, of course, I misunderstood what my ex said about the day. Then she had to explain to me that she meant that the weather was bad and not that she was horny! ha ha.

I am having a hard time with the word "Acere" but the "k vuelta" part could mean "what turnaround" or something like it. "K" is slang for the word "que" which means "what" and "vuelta" means to turn or a turn.


I have heard the word "Acere" before mainly in songs. La Sonora Ponceña has a song called "Acere Ko" and I think Ibrahim Ferrer has a song called "Lo Sitio Acere". In both instances the songs are about African culture in Latin America or, at least, the influence of it. So I am certain that "Acere" is an African word, probably Yoruba since the Yoruba culture has had a great impact on Cuban, Dominican and Puertorican music.

Anyone else care to take a tsab at figuring out what "Acere means"?

Alot of words in Mexican spanish aka Castellano can have double meanings "watch out"

for example huevos can mean balls or eggs

so if someone says aguantame los huevos it has a double connotation. It can either mean to grab my balls or hold my eggs..haha

its the only language that I know of in which it is possible

Not necessarily. In english we have a lot of idioms and phrases with double meanings. For example:

You are driving me up the wall
Beating around the bush
Break a leg
Keep an eye on the baby
Pulling your leg
Water under the bridge.... and many, many more!

it might be true be its not as sarcastic..or they might not be joking around..

for example...No seas Bartolo (which might not have any meaning for an English speaking person except don't be like Bartolo) but if you know it means "don't be a *******.
This is not true for all Mexicans though. Mostly for the ones who live in Mexico city. This is why other Mexicans who are not from Mexico City don't really like them. They are sometimes called chilangos

Could it be.... "que vuelta haces"? So that "aceres" is really "que vuelta das" or "que vuelta haces voz"? I'm completely guessing. What do you think?
