"coger" means fuck in latin america, but not in Spain where we use it as "grab/pick" normally. It causes fun reactions to latinamericans visiting or living in Spain for sure as it's used a lot.

"correr" is also "run" in Spanish, we share a lot of words with Portuguese . ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น

Interesting. I have never heard of coger being fuck and the only Spanish I speak is with latinamericans. Is it a more recent slang?

I learned it meant fuck when I was taking Spanish classes in Texas in the 90s.
