The words and phrases are from a document issued by a court in Spain dealing with a lawsuit in which the plaintiff had been slandered with the language that I needed help with. These were words that I had never heard of before. I appreciate the abundant help I received on this.
AllegroTrans Jul 15, 2020:
Asker You've posted a whole series of insult words and phrases and it's difficult to see how these could hang together in one document. For a start we know nothing about the document, i.e. is it just a disjointed series of written insults in an email or a note of what somebody said orally? Of course if you're content with isolated suggestions, that is OK.
