#2 Too bad it failed. Perhaps we can offer a technical assistance mission.

Mayhaps Dubai 11 team? A bit overt, but 'ey get the wet job done.

#3 Basically pendejo means "cuckold". It could mean that "your wife sleeps around" or could mean "your wife is sleeping with me when you aren't looking" depending on the context. It is a pretty nasty insult.

#4 It could also mean "effing biatch". Either way, not very complimentary.

#6 Ok, whatever part of Latin America you are in, it's not the equivalent of an "atta boy, you big stud, you!" like some other words can be (ie. "buey", literally "ox", in some places you're a stud, in others you're a freakin' big dumb idiot).

#7 Insults are when you talk about his mother.

You are assuming Chavez has one.

#8 What does "puta pendejo" mean, anyway?

Umm, Pendulous means dangling and Puta means missing so Jim's translation is, "Missing your Dangles", nice slap in the face there.

(Probably wrong, give a shit it's a fun, not an acurate translation)

#9 This is one of those lovely conversations that demonstrate the American knack for enjoying multiple languages. Redneck Jim, I'm going to sleep happily tonight because of your delightful exercise in translation. :-)
