“It all begins with this. Madres are pure and perfect. insults In Mexico.” insults Like the Virgin of Guadalupe, the mother of God. Worshipped. And untouchable. insults Nevertheless, when in Mexico, a handbook warns, almost better to avoid saying the word altogether when you are there. Make inquires instead about a person’s mamá rather than his or her madre. 1 It’s safer. In Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Argentina it isn’t so. How’s your madre? they all ask. Not in Mexico. Shhhh. Index fingers are raised to hissing lips. Don’t say that word. “Some men will insult each other with a mentada de madre, an insult to their mother, just to pick a fight,” Odette continues. Or they will pitch these insults around as a game when they are with their cuates, their buddies, drinking. Madre, a word. A world. An object that turns into action when it rolls off a tongue. And falls into a conversation in Mexico.
