/Sounds like "ee" (as in "eagle") + "hweh" + "POO" (as in "pool") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

A very strong insult in Colombia, derived from "hijo de puta." Thrown directly at someone to severely disrespect them. It can also function as a raw exclamation of surprise, pain, or even intense admiration depending on context and tone, making it one of Colombia's most versatile (and explosive) words.

Examples

Lo llamó hijueputa frente a todos y la situación se salió de control.

He called him that in front of everyone and the situation spiraled out of control.

¡Hijueputa, qué golazo!

Holy crap, what an incredible goal!
