Joden

[Ximena Rios Hamann]

The word "joden" has different  meanings in Spanish. It depends on the
country or variety of Spanish.

In Spain it's equivalent to the word "fuck" in English, but in Argentina,
Venezuela and Peru, for example, it's equivalent to the word "bother" or
"tease" but with a very strong "charge".

Both meanings are argot.
