38 carajo
(Sp. model spelled same [karáxo], of uncertain origin. Cognate terms exist in Spanish, French, and Galician)1) Clark: 1840s. A strong expletive used especially by Mexicans to express disgust or frustration.2) A base fellow, or one who would use an expletive like carajo. Often applied derisively to mule drivers, cowboys, outdoor workers, and Mexicans.3) DARE: 1880. In the Southwest, "the tall, upright stem [of the maguey plant], used as a goad" or walking stick. Blevins suggests that the stem of the maguey received this name because of its similarity to the virile member.Alternate forms: caracho pole, carajo pole.4) As a verb, meaning to use the expletive.The DRAE concurs with definition (1). The other three are not attested to in most Spanish sources, but derive from (1). Santamaría describes it as an expletive with folkloric color used in Spain as well as Latin America. It is very common and has prompted the creation of a number of euphemisms, including carancho, caramba, carache, and caray. Sobarzo concurs with this definition and adds that carajo can be used to refer to a malevolent, perverse, or base individual.Alternate form: caraho. -
