Someone posts on a movie board a message titled "el stupido", and the body of the message is "es no goodo".
Are they really Spanish? I don't understand Spanish but I think the man was joking.
Then another guy posts:
"Hibtone se que que decir "no goodo" es gracioso que le pasa a este ridiculo?
mere payaso esta pelicula esta cabrona usted no sabe na del cine y ese comentario te que bien pendejo oiste lambebicho".
Can someone translate it for me? Thanks

"El Stupido" and "no goodo" are clearly spanglish. It takes a familiarity in English to write the bad English you see teens use in Internet chat rooms. Likewise, whoever wrote this is obviously familiar with Spanish.

The translation of the rest goes something like this:

Hibtone (I think this is a name?) knows that to say "no goodo" is funny, whats up with this joker? look clown this movie is alright you don't know about this movie the commentary is f***ed up. listen up bleep.

Ebrown, don't you feel like you're embellishing the translation?

I don't think so. It is apparently written by Spanish speaking teens speaking in a vulgar informal style. This style makes a literal translation impossible.

I was trying to get the meaning right.

The word lambebicho is an interesting one.

"Lambe" comes from the word Lamber meaning to lick. Bicho has two meaning, it means "bug (as in insect)" in some countries, but it also can be a vulgar reference to a part of the male anatomy.

I will let you figure out what this word means in this context.

Come on Francis... this is both fun and educational (or should I say it's mad ill!).

Vulgar slang is an important form of communication and a valid use of a language. If you don't understand how people talk informally (which is often vulgar in any culture) then you haven't mastered a language.

When I was studying Spanish in Guatemala, one of the most helpful books was a book that explained the slang (often the most vulgar) of both Spanish and English and an attempted mapping (not always easy mind you) between the two.

Ok, Ebrown. Maybe I'm not in the mood. (I know the Spanish slang and more than one Spanish speaking country).
