Do you know how to 'talk dirty' in Catalan? 20 words to 'smear' and not 'fuck'

BarcelonaAnglicisms are dominating conversations about sexuality and romantic relationships, because English has given names to situations that previously had no name, such as breadcrumbing (give bread springs) or the yearning (the longing). And also to sexual identities and practices that had not been made visible, fromspanking (the one born) in the bondage (the ligament) passing through thesquirting (the sprouting). Traditionally, it has been Castilianisms that have colonized the dirty talk Catalan. However, Catalan has thousands of slang terms for all registers, even the most informal and intimate ones. In Cardamos in Catalan (Rosa dels Vents) Linguists Laura Boj, Xènia Hernández, and Roger Miras propose hundreds of genuine words and alternatives to the most common foreign terms for (oral) sex. "We want to move away from the clichés that using genuinely Catalan words when we have sex doesn't sound dirty or sensual. Does the name make the thing? Doesn't it turn you on when they go down on you, when they give it to you good, when they give you a blowjob, when they give you a blowjob, or when they suck your dick?" in the book.

Both Optimot and Termcat have also worked on this specific slang. From all the possible vocabulary, we've chosen a dozen common words that are often used in Spanish but are actually easy to memorize and adopt, and which are both witty and standard in Catalan. You can stop fuck and you can start to scuttle, catch either dream.
