I don't know of any other Hispanic people that use the word "puta" nearly as much as Colombians. The "narrator" has got to be Colombian, and I imagine that's where this took place. @Clendenon You're the resident expert. Do you agree?

Here at GG, we call someone a piñata when they are hanging and being beaten. I had to laugh when the narrator started repeating Piñata! Piñata!
I guess you can beat a piñata even when it's lying in the street.

In this video the man is mostly saying "bota" which means "drop" (the weapon). I also think that Mexicans use "puta" more, as in "puta madre".

I only watched it one time, but I do remember hearing "bota la arma" many times. I also heard a lot of "putas" and they were used in the manner that I'm accustomed to hearing from Colombians. (I used to be married to one and I've been to that country 3 times over the years.)

Well that's okay, I had thought that you were very familiar with Colombians, but I could be incorrectly remembering something you wrote some time ago.

Maybe you remembered correctly that my son is married to a Colombian. Sometimes I have a "slang" contest with her just to see the difference. One common debate is how to pronounce "atlántico". I pronounce it at-lán-ti-co" and she insists it's "a-tlán-ti-co. I still think I'm right.
