Sticks and stones ...
Canarias7 report that a sentence handed down in a Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) court acquitted a Telde resident on a charge of "humiliation", having called a neighbour "hijo de puta" (son of a whore) and "maricón" (poof/faggot) in a dispute.
The court ruled that these are "expressions, now integrated into the vocabulary" and should not even be considered as insults. They certainly do not constitute an unjust humiliation and, they say, are merely evidence of bad conduct and manners.
Remember your mum said that, names never hurt. Now it's official!
La Audiencia dice que llamar «hijo de puta» no es vejatorio
