Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'salido' have two very different meanings (protruding and horny)?
Both meanings stem from the idea of something being 'out' or 'exposed.' The physical meaning describes a part of the body that sticks out, while the informal, sexual meaning describes someone whose desires are strongly 'out' or apparent.
Is 'salido' always masculine?
No. When used as an adjective (meaning sticking out or lustful), it must match the person or thing it describes: 'El diente salido' (The protruding tooth, masculine) but 'La gente salida' (The lustful people, feminine plural).
