Is La Puta considered vulgar in Spanish?
I thought it just meant whore and so was a rather meh word when not aimed at people.
Whore is a vulgar word whether it's aimed at a person or not.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Well, it seems nowadays that you're supposed to use the expression "de puta madre" on any possible occasion.

BTW, "la puta" means THE whore, maybe that was the reason for...

What was the problem again?
