con~o in Spain, DO NOT use this word as a "mild curse word" in most Latin
American countries, as it is *much* stronger in many of them than it is in
Spain. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

those who are delicate in their language usage (in English or in any other
language, i.e. you disapprove of swearing and / or don't use anything stronger
than "darn it") the "dictionary meaning" of this word would be
highly offensive to you (slang term for female anatomy; 4 letters, beginning
with "c").</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
