Crude — know it before you say it

How it's actually used

"Qué ladilla" means what a drag. "Ser una ladilla" describes someone who will not stop pestering you. Common and informal, but the literal meaning keeps it slightly crude.

Examples

Where it comes from

Literally a crab louse. The metaphor is not subtle.

Now actually use it out loud

Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Venezuelan Spanish — it uses ladilla the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Venezuelan Spanish.
