Thread: Clarification?

Lately I am learning more that there seems to be many words I hear being used by my Mexican friends that I do not find in the Spanish dictionary, or they don't have quite the same meaning.

Por ejemplo: There is a word I hear that sounds like "mugrero", which is supposed to mean "mess", like "Hay mucho mugrero" (There's a big mess).

And the word "flojo" is used to specifically mean lazy, but not in the Spanish dictionary. (BTW, I just stopped shaving recently, and someone calls me "Flojo face")

Mugre means filth.
Adjective forms include mugriento and mugroso.
Disclaimer: I'm not a native speaker of Spanish. I'm curious what others will say.

Since the colonisation of south america in the fifteenth century the spanish language has evoluted in a slightly diferent manner in the country's of the continent . And yes you will find that a spanish person
"coge el autobus "whilst an argentinian "agarra el autobus" The verb coger has a totaly different meaning in Argentina which makes it very amusing when a spanish person enquires in argentina where can he get the bus.


By the way that is correct mugre is filth, but the spanish would say vago for lazy .
