For Goodness sake! She is not Porteña. You are insulting Porteños

You didn't expect the "thinker" to actually think before posting, did you?

I love it when a poster turns into a parody of themselves.

In another thread he's already explained to us that apparently Uruguayans use the word porteño as a general insult. I still think he's misunderstanding the use, but he's insistent that it is just a general insult.

See below, the whole thread is here: http://baexpats.org/topic/32543-my-portano-experiance/page__hl__porte%C3%B1o

LOL Porteno = My wifes cousins new boy friend from BA or a Porteno as they call them here. I figured it was a known term I guess not. It general it seems to be used around here and by the Argentinians from the provinces in reference to people from BA that are not very likable.

I never really understood why people loathed them so much until the past week.This guy was driving me nuts. I have never experienced anyone so rude in my life to be honest. But thank God it is over.

Per my conversations in this neck of woods Porteno is typically used in reference to someone from BA that is not very likable or has bad manners. There are lots of excellent Argies around too no doubt.

And we all know that words are used differently in different regions or places. Here Porteno basically means well lets not go there and the Uruguayan peeps don't use it that way in front of BA Argies. Actually the the peeps in Uruguay do not like the peeps from BA generally speaking. But they do like Argies from the Provinces. If you are a black man and use the N word it is one thing but if you are white and use the N word well you know.

Pepe Mujica Said it Uruguayans Dislike Argentinians....!!!


Mujica: "We Uruguayans make a mistake in being Anti-Argentina "

The staterman indicated that one must negotiate with the neighbouring country. because neighbors are permanent.

Uruguay's President Jose Mujica, who will retire next March 1, said in an interview published by the newspaper The Daily.

Uruguayans must give up their "anti-Argentine" feeling. "What I have clear is that if the Argentina does poorly, to us is us bad. They can tell me what they want, but when Argentina plays soccer with Germany, I fill by Argentina", illustrated.

Uruguayans are resentful with porteños, as every people are with someone who belongs to a big city. It is exactly the same in the interior. They have this complex of inferiority or they feel porteños have this complex of superiority (not the same but the product is the same: el complejo del petiso). So they dislike porteños, their pace of life (no siesta), their money, arrogance, etc.

It happens in every country I guess, in the US with the newyorkers, in France with parisians, etc

She IS porteño - if you pronounce the word correctly, as any pensador would do:

Por - think skin pores
Tan - think 'you look tanned today'
-ño - as in 'Yo, wassup?'*

With that pronunciation, CFK is portanyo.

* All of the foregoing with a Brooklyn accent.

 

[Pensador]

She is the leader of the Por Tan Yo wassup chino your lisp is a riot. Yo soy Por Tan yo can you spare a poor Argentino some change. LOL begging in Asia hmm must be Valenzuela is broke.

I don't think the comments made by the ex-president of Uruguay in this video was directed solely at the Portenos.
