Freya Peribán De Ramos Puta ❤️❤️❤️

Acerca de Juárez

So, *puta*, it’s Spanish, means “whore,” but it’s more, y’know? It’s tossed ‘round like confetti in some places—Mexico, Spain, heck, even Springfield if Lenny’s had too many Duff beers! I heard it first back when I was slingin’ tacos at that shady cantina, *hmmm*, this gal Rosa called her sister *puta* for stealin’ her man, but they were laughin’! I was like, whaaat? It’s a cuss word, but it’s also… affection? Like callin’ Bart a lil’ monster, *hmmm*. Blew my mind!
