    It doesn't mean "*kitten*"
    People say carajo when they get frustrated.
    More like "DAMN!"
    Anywho......

    Dora, Diego, Wonderpets, Yo Gaba-Gaba, Backyardigans... those are the shows I watch w. my 2y/o every morning. Can't forget about Charlie & Lola:smile:

    No worries, darling. I DO speak Spanish and relating your user name to a cuss word didn't occur to me..........and trust me, 28 years of working in the prison system gave me a whooolleeee lot of exposure to the use of vulgar explicitives in about every language known to humankind:noway: :tongue:

    I speak spanish as well-Mother & Father are Puertorican

    Here is the actual meaning:
    carajo (noun, masc.) penis (falling into disuse with this meaning) note Widely used in expressions like "Vete al carajo" (Go to he!!!), "Que carajo quieres?" (What the *kitten* do you want?)

    http://www.notam02.no/~hcholm/altlang/ht/Spanish.1.html

    As you can see, there are many ways to use that word.
    Once again, I am very sorry Cara.
