In Portuguese, I find it funny that gato/gata could be someone attractive or a literal cat.

In USA pigs = police
Most I can think of at the moment are derogatory.
A “dog” is a person pushing their horniness to inappropriate levels.
A “cow” is someone fat and slow/stupid.
A “shark” is a savvy business person who edges into taking advantage of people unethically.
A “snake” is a liar and a cheat. Sometimes slang for a penis.
Quiet, shy people are “mousy”.
Someone who tattles to cops/authority is a “rat”.
A “chick” is an old-timey term for a girl/woman that might get you slapped.
A “kitty” is a vagina and also may get you slapped depending on context.
Someone messy/dirty is a “pig”. “Pig” might also be used for a man who is rude and pushing sexual innuendos onto women without their consent.
While to “go the whole hog” means to not hild back, to embrace doing a thing completely.
Bitch [a female dog], an unpleasant or disagreeable woman, a man or woman made submissive or subservient, the act of complaining and finally something causing you problems or complications in an annoying way.
Why would chick get you slapped? Growing up that just meant girl. No connotations
It feels kinda like you’re objectifying them. Really depends who you use it with though, like all words.
Yeah, I would advise using against using it today. Like, I said, old timey. Not as acceptable as it might have been in decades past.
I’m middle millennial and consider it flippant at best. Like “chick flicks” and “chick lit” are seen as less serious/valuable/artistic than media intended for men. “Hot chick” as a way to value/devalue a woman on looks alone.
Go somewhere public and call a girl a chick, see what happens 😂
Seriously though, it’s not the word that’s the issue, it’s the labelling of someone based on their gender. I can’t speak for the bottom line as I don’t appear to be a woman, but I’d start getting fucked off if a generic term was used to address me when I had a perfectly good name.
In the UK, an equivalent is “bird”. Equally likely to get you booted in the balls.
In english that’s a “fox”
Cougar.
It’s either a type of big cat, or an older, attractive, single woman.
Isn’t cougar specifically older women that favour younger men.
I think so but I wasn’t 100% sure if it’s a requirement. 🤷🏻♂️
Someone who is a snake can’t be trusted.
Of course the word bitch, a female dog.
monkey = not attractive, can also be foolish
gorilla = swole, ripped
crocodile = greedy
worm = of low social status
turtle = slow
cockroach = hard to kill
Cougar, older women attracted to younger men.
fox is older term for a good looking female. also a vixen is a term for a suductress.
In Spanish, gato is not necessarily attractive (though they usually are) but a cheap sex worker or a promiscuous seductress/tor.
Potro (colt) is an attractive young man
Yegua (mare) equivalent to bitch, an asshole woman
Vaca (cow) same as in English, could be used for someone overweight or dumb
Cerdo (pig) same as English, a filthy/fat personMarmota and burro (marmot and donkey resp.) someone dumb
Vibora, buitre (snake, vulture resp.) toxic person
Sapo, bicho (frog, bug resp.) someone ugly
Mariposa (butterfly) allegedly or suspected to be gayThose are the first ones to pop into my mind but I’m sure there’s more
uhh, « manger comme un cochon » is to eat like a pig. more idioms but i speak english better. « malin comme un singe » is to be very clever (« as a monkey »)
i’ve heard « serpent » for backstabber, or serpan since i’m learning haitian creole
Mongoose: humorous term for a man who is successful in social situations (for example with women).
Monkey: Clever or competent person, usually used when someone accomplishes something unexpected with a nuance of “how did you even do that”.
Chick: Slang for boyfriend.
A chicken hawk is an older gay man who pursuits younger men.
In Norwegian, Grouse (Rype. Don’t bother trying, you’re definitely pronouncing it incorrectly) somehow became slang for an attractive woman. Not used that often anymore, though.
Caged owl (Burugle) is slang for an unattractive woman.
In some Spanish-speaking regions, a goat is usually like a big dumb guy. And calling someone a horse is another way of saying they’re stupid.
Which regions? And do they say caballo for it or a different word?
Caballo, yes. That’s specific to Costa Rica. I forget where I heard the goat one (cabron) but I think it was either Spain or Mexico.
Both. “Cabrón” is specifically billygoat. Goat is used in constructions like “como una cabra” in Spain to mean crazy.
“Bird” is old-time slang for a woman, usually understood to be pretty.
