Colombianismos parte 2

Do you know what "sapo " means? If you look up in the dictionary probably the first meaning that you will find is " toad or frog" but this word or this animal has a totally different connotation in Spanish, specially the Spanish spoken in Colombia.  Even in Colombia "sapo" can be a verb "sapear". 

Below you will find the three most common uses.






This word become even more popular when some drug dealer decided to betray their partners to get some reduction in their sentences. You can see an example in the  2008  Colombia  TV series called "El Cartel de los Sapos". It is also a book writen by Andrés López López.

I hope you have enjoyed this short lesson.
