noto que casi no tienes mensajes pero ya tienes tiempo como miembro, saludos desde mexico (:
Feliz navidad!
Hola de Wisconsin, tierra de nieve y un frio de carajo! hahahaha Soy miembra aqui desde hace mucho tiempo, pero no empecé a escribir mensajes hasta hace poco. Participo más en un sitio que se llama Neurointegrity, donde la gente nunca se pelea and nunca tiran insultos.
Soy mamá de una familia de 4 (mi esposo, dos hijos y yo), y parece que todos tenemos una forma de Asperger's o autismo. Me alegro mucho de haber encontrado un par de lugares donde puedo hablar con alguien and compartir informacion. No hay otros lugares donde se puede hablar en español con alguien sobre el autismo, pero si tú te haces miembro de Neurointegrity, te hablaré allí Y aquí también.
Saludos, y deseo unas felices pascuas para ti y un prospero año nuevo!

I took Spanish for three years. Granted, I never paid much attention 
However, I did learn one thing. Chupacabras is feminine, so you'd say La Chupacabra, not El Chupacabra. El is male.

Hola ngonz, yo pues la verdad ni chance de ver que otros foros hay sobre AS, de por sí apenas visito este jaja =P
Sí, lamentablemente hay pocos lugares donde hablar en español, por lo mismo de que
Espero que hayas pasado un excelente fin de año y pues que te vaya muy bien en este que apenas empieza (:
@NovaBat: hola (:
cabras (goats) is the plural of cabra (goat), which ends in A, so it should be female (in theory). In this case it's El, not La, not because it refers to the act of him or her sucking (chupa, which is genderless, chupo is also genderless BTW); anyway, it's El because that's the way the name stuck...
odd stuff, nevermind 
=P

It is el chupacabras and here is the definitive answer as to why. Chupacabras is a compound word, made up of a verb followed by a noun. In Spanish, when one makes that kind of compound word, it always appears to be plural (but isn't) and is always male.
chupar = to suck cabra = goat Hence, goat sucker or chupacabras.
Other examples are:
el cortacéspedes = lawn mower (cutting of lawn)
el sacapuntas = pencil sharpener (bringing out a point)
el lavaplatos = dishwasher (washing dishes)
There are many other examples. To make the word plural, just change "el" to "los".
And there you have it! Take it from a Spanish teacher.

your thingy says mexico, ive never heard chorizo been used as such a slang in spain
could be the spanish reserve the word for the sausage only, since you cant even walk a step anywhere, without seeing chorizos hanging from a string from somewhere. enter grocery store, chorizos hanging in the background. enter a nightclub, chorizos, the library, chorizos, the hairdresser, chorizos
ill remember if i ever visit mexico tho!
what i wanna know tho, is how often foreigners have asked for some "polla frita" or something, that would be cool :]

I think that any word for sausage in any language is used as a synonym for that part of the male anatomy. That seems to be a universal concept. It is quite okay to ask for chorizo in a store or butcher shop when shopping. That is what it is, after all.
About 'polla frita' = polla definitely IS nasty slang for that part of the male body and should not be used--at least in Spain. I don't know about other Spanish speaking countries. Every country is a bit different.
The correct term for 'fried chicken' is the masculine form: 'pollo frito'. If you use the feminine form, you are asking for a 'fried you-know-what'.

YO QUERO UN GOFRE CON NATA Y FRESAS

Oh and LIMPIAPARABRISAS (how could you not love a word like that)
