<\/a>Piropos<\/em><\/strong> are flirtatious remarks or comments men often say to women as they walk down the street in Latin American countries.<\/p>\nFor example. \u00bfQu\u00e9 hace una estrella como t\u00fa volando tan bajo<\/em>? (What is a beautiful star like you doing by flying so close to earth?) Unfortunately, there are many piropos<\/em> which are directed towards women that are extremely vulgar and degrading.<\/p>\n Now there is a law in Costa Rica that can punish men with a fine and or jail time if they insult women with indecorous remarks. According to Article 392 of the Contravenciones Contra Las Buenas Costumbres<\/em>, \u201cAnyone can be put in jail from 5 to 30 days for expressing obscene words or gestures in public. If judge decides that the words expressed insult one\u2019s honor, fines can range from a little over $100 to almost $800 dollars depending on the offense. Furthermore, if the guilty party can\u2019t pay the fine, he will have to spend time in jail to work it off.\u201d<\/p>\n Here is a list of the some of the vulgarities for which a man could be fined or thrown in jail in Costa Rica:<\/p>\n There are a lot more of these obscene remarks which I have chosen not to include.
