What does gilipollas mean?
Expression
prick, idiot
One of the most common insults in Spanish, and genuinely offensive to anyone you do not know well. Turned on yourself — qué gilipollas soy — it is the standard way of kicking yourself for a mistake.
¿Pero tú eres gilipollas? ¡Cómo se te ocurre hacer eso!idiot, fondly — between friends, nearly nothing
Between friends with real confianza it runs affectionate or funny instead: it takes the edge off a compliment or a moment of sincerity. The word does not change; the relationship does.
Te he echado de menos, gilipollas.
