On a trip to Caracas, I saw a graffiti comment written on a phone kiosk but can't get the translation.
It was: "Chavez Farzanet (or maybe farzanct) Comunista"
A friend from Venezuela couldn't translate the second word while the rest is obvious.
Can anyone help?
I get the probable contextual meaning, I'm looking for someone who can actually do the translation.
Gehsundheit.
street lingo for
phony communist?
“farts alot”
Sucks?
Sorry for the late reply. I was not ignoring you.
The closest I came was “farsesco” which means farcical, but that is not the word you are look for.
I will check in with my Uruguayan neighbor who is an official translator. Maybe there is something similar down in that part of the world.
Nothing matches here in Panama. I also ran it by a dictionary. Nothing. It could be a local saying, one we do not have here.
I will be getting back to you later.
Now that I have had a little time to think about it and am totally awake, the word you mean is “farsante” meaning “phoney/fraud.”
My best regards.
