pendejo means (a hanging pubic hair)

******

Pendejo means a dumba$$ and the term “hanging pubic hair” is so far removed from Spanglish it doesn’t exist. As in we no longer speak the Kings English...

Pendejo is a slur....not a pun in modern language.

Since I have spoken Spanish for better or worse since the early 70s I am well aware of the varying meanings of pendejo in Spanish speaking cultures where btw...I have also lived in my 20 years as an expat

I was referring to what the actual definition of the word is and trust me..all but the stupidest Spanish speaking illiterates know what that original definition is..a pubic hair./..in particular a dangling one

and btw...the vernacular is not always “dumbass” or “stupid”

it depends on where it used or at times the inflection

it can also mean for example.."prick"...again not literally like a penis..but a "dick" or jerk

I'm sure you get it

Whatever ... The GOOG offers up a selection of nouns: hijo de puta, pendejo, coño, which would seem to add up to a general idea.

Further, the GOOG defines the Spanish verb pender as "hang, dangle, hang down".

And then there's the Wiktionary, wherein we find the smoking hanging gun:

Noun

pendejo m. (plural pendejos)

1. A pubic hair
