culo
What does “culo” mean in English?
This refers to the buttocks, often used in a crude way to talk about someone's backside. It can also be used in more neutral contexts, though that's less common.
Literally “buttocks”
It's similar to saying 'ass' in English, often used informally or in a joking manner. While it can be lighthearted, the tone can shift depending on context, so be mindful of how it's delivered.

About this data
Swear Atlas is a source-attested, AI-curated reference — not a native-speaker-certified dictionary. Meanings and the 1–5 Burn Rating are approximate editorial assessments that vary with context, region, tone and speaker. Inclusion of a word does not constitute endorsement of its use.
The literal gloss is a short editorial translation to show word-for-word sense, not an etymological claim.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
