Bleep!

There are many swear words in Filipino which I thought all the while were unique to our language (although I am aware that many words in Filipino are derived from the Spanish). I was therefore surprised when I thought I saw Nadal mouth one when his smash shot went long during his match against Federer in the 2006 Wimbledon men's singles final. I finally got confirmation tonight while watching the Federer-Gonzalez match via streaming video here on my laptop: When Gonzalez made a costly error one of the Spanish-speaking people participating on the online chat room and evidently rooting for the Chilean gave vent to his feelings by typing out "putaaaaa".
