There's a reason I asked you, Regen. If I ask him, I put myself at his mercy, and his translation could very well be less than honest. It's the kind of prank we like to play on each other... Oh what's that mean? It means "my friend" when it actually means

Ah, that kind of conversation.  ;)
I think you can't be wrong to assume if he calls you a

Yes. Maybe it's a generation thing. I would say

But

And yes: Momo is a great book. Like that, too.
And OK, I will try to watch Mary Poppins. I never wanted to, because of all the singing. It was too much for me. I usually don't like it.

It kind of dose though XD .

So basically he could be call him a Coward for sneaking up on and killing him, as stabbing some in the back is considered a Cowardly Act XD .

When I was a child, they would have called someone like that (in the sense of coward) "maricón" or "mariquita", which are offensive words for a gay male. But luckily, this has changed. It is quite unusual know to use those words with that sense. We still use like a lot the word

which is a general, not kind word for a male homosexual too, but two things happened with that word. For one hand, it lose strength, so it has become less harmful and even many gay people use it to refer to themselves. On the other hand, the word has become wider, not only involving gay people know. It has mutated to something like "bastard" but not too strong but rather mildly unless it is said in a very bad tone.

Maybe in Argentina that's the case, but I know for a fact that in Spain it's still pretty much in use. 2 out of the 4 spanish people who come on teamspeak use

Spaniards are more conservative  :)
Still, it is not as if no one says that anymore, it is only much less frequent than before
