ORIGIN OF Bagre
The word bagre comes from the Catalan bagra, a word that refers to the freshwater fish whose belly is flattened, brownish, with pronounced whiskers, head really huge in relation to its limbs
In some Latin countries, the word bagre, due to the unattractive characteristics of the fish, refers to a very ugly person physically.
In the urban genre, it transcends its meaning a bit to refer to women who not only look hideous, but also have bad feelings and prostitute themselves by constantly changing partners
In addition to this, in other countries, the word also refers to a type of man who is not very committed in love relationships. Bagre is the typical womanizer who changes partners constantly and does not like to commit himself.
CURIOSITIES OF Bagre
Although most of its meaning lies in negative adjectives, the word catfish also refers to those people who are very smart and have the ability to get out of really embarrassing situations easily and without causing emotional wounds.
These meanings are attributed to the fact that the freshwater fish has the ability to defend itself from other species by quickly pricking its sting, through which it secretes venom.
