Filho da puta

I've just learnt a new phrase today...a fanciful foreign phrase.

Filho da puta.

Hmm...it sounds nice but it doesn't necessarily mean that it has a nice meaning.

Uttered by The Pouting One - certainly a person that would beggar respect from a lot of people, me included - it means "son of a whore."

Wassat?

Yes, you heard me right and I'll say it again. Filho da puta. Son of a whore.

And because of this crass utterance, made at the FA Cup quarter-final match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspurs on 11 Mar 2007, the Chelsea manager faced possible action from the Football Association.

Unfortunately, the FA decided to take no action against that Filho da puta... Drat!
