Spanish slang clarifications

I read that the word "josear" comes from the English word "hustler" so joseando = hustling. Would that make sense in your translation?.

it means hustling. it actually should be josiando. there's no other word for it, so it's definitely that

Ha! That makes sense,. So, what is the word in SPanish for a hustler or a swindler? I looked it up in one of my dictionaries and it said "chanchullo". I've never heard of that. How would you say it in Spanish, now that I know the slang for it?
Thanks!

Haha, that's what I used to think.

But tramposo comes from "trampa", which means trick or trap

& "hacer trampa" means to cheat.

does anyone have any idea what sacarte a nelly means? or what wisin y yandel are referring to when they mention la liga de nelly? nelly's league?

Who is nelly? "Nelly" appears to have a league and likes to be taken out!

"Sacarte a nelly" in this context may mean to take out the male organ (trying to put this delicately!). But this is completely a guess.

"El mas ton" seems to be referring to something big. Another guess.

hahah yeah i thought el mas ton meant like the biggest or the greatest haha.

but nelly i have no idea what they are referring to at all hahah. maybe thats what they call it lol but i've never heard anyone say ayyy nena voy a sacarme a nelly hahah if i even said that right lol

but yes thanks for your guess

In Mexico "chanchullo" means "swindle", and it's indeed very colloquial. What dmoney found ("estafa") is also "swindle", but it's a bit more formal although very common as well.

Thus "swindler"= estafador, or on a more colloquial level ="transa"

Well depends how you use it! but for example if you are playing a game and someone says que chanchullero sos! that means que tramposo sos! because estafador is stronger than tramposo. Is like exagerating! you feel me guys?

Nelly is a person (El Arma Secreta), but other than that, i've never heard nelly used as just a word before.

okay so he's a producer. that makes sense with la liga de nelly

but i still don't understand what sacarte a nelly means

So when you are talking about a hustler in Mexico, would you say, "El es un chanchullo." And would you also say, "Te esta chanchullando"? Or, "Es es un estafador.... te esta estafiando"? WHat is the verb for hustling?

Just curious!

the verb is "hacer chanchullos"

"te está chanchulleando" dont sound well is better to say "te está estafando"
and the same for "El es un chanchullo" better "es un estafador"

Canchullo is a thing not a person

sacar means to take out, te means it's being done to "you", so literally, to take you out to nelly.

hey, if you know any of the fairly new Reggaeton or Bachata songs could you post the titles & artist plz i love artists like WISIN y Yandel , DADDY YANKEE, AVENTURA, TEGO CALDERON but unfortunately in louisiana we don't have any spanish radio stations

we don't in Tennessee either, but i get everything from websites that keep stuff updated. i don't listen to as much reggaeton as dominican rap, but masreggaetonflow.net(or com, i forgot which) has good stuff and stays with new songs.
