This dosen't even come close to b*tch in my mind.
I guess it's one of those words that depends a lot on context or tone.

the meaning changes between countries too. the word palomo for me is one of the biggest insults, but i have to explain it to 99% of the people i know since most people around here are American (Mexicans, Central Americans, etc)

Yeah words can have very different meanings in different places especially slang.
Thanks for your help Joyce

Significa algo Bueno, Bonito o interesante....es como usar chevere o bacano.

In my family, this means something is 'dumb' or 'not worth it.' Like my mother would say something like, 'esa novela está chimba,' which means, 'that soap opera is dumb.' I think different cultures adopt similar words but give them distinct meanings.

Gracias (:

start saying "la verga" when ever somebody says something stupid or that's obviously a lie jaja

or i could say "puro paja(pija)"?

Yes you could. To me, "pura paja" or "pura pajarilla" is similar to saying something like "bullcorn".
