Re: [ranchos] Re: Name Calling


 
I've heard "tarugo"  and "tarado".  Tarugo as in "como eres tarugo"   Not being very smart,  almost like "como eres menso".  Tarugo, tarado, and menso are used in about the same context.
I know, I've been called all three at different times!

"Tarayata" sounds linked to "taragua" which I was often called because I was considered lazy when I was younger - I simply didn't enjoy doing the household chores while my brothers were out playing :).  Perhaps the "tara" portion is the relationship in a similar base language, which be in this area of discussion!
