Posts from morganf in thread „“Shithole” in Argie Spanish“

    I wanted to know how to say it.<br>
    <br>
    At first everyone I asked said it is “lugar de mierda.” But that’s wrong, in terms of how it is used: technically, it means something similar, but it’s not really used, and lacks the oomph and power that “shithole” has. <br>
    <br>
    Then they suggested “antro” but that has a criminal, underworld, you’re-an-evil-person-if-you’re-there connotation that “shithole” doesn’t have.<br>
    <br>
    So after much discussion, we think we found the right word..... drum roll, please..... basurero.<br>
    <br>
    Just wanted to share.<br>
