I remember my parents holding my hand in the street. I remember there were two ways of docking the hands, and one of them felt wrong. I remember always trying to correct the hold if it was the wrong one. I don’t remember disliking hand holding per se.
Nowadays I hold my kid’s hand when on the street or entering the subway or similar. And if I’m not holding hands, I have mine very near and almost always keep contact with the body ever so slightly. I’m not taking any chance. I guess the circle has closed.


“Pringao”. Can be understood as looser. Quite offensive. Can be suffixed with “de mierda” o prefixed with “puto” to enhance the rudeness.
