Culero (kool-aeroh) means "of the ass", probably a literary allusion to how close a person or her behavior is to fecal matter. It is a proper insult. It has a weaker version,
culei, which is rarely offensive.
Culero is particularly handy in two contexts: sports events and concerts. When soccer fans don't agree with a particular call of the
nazareno (the referee), they chant
culero,
culero. The same happens when the audience in a concert requests an encore. In both cases the chant works better when accompanied with whistled
mentadas.
When chanted, the phonems
cu- and -
ro have a duration of one forth of a time, if not an eighth. The duration of the phonem -
le- depends on the level of anxiety of the crowd (never shorter than one time). The longer the -
le-, the more emphatic the message.

Not exactly, when a player is shielding the ball and the guy behind him is pushing him and kicking from behind , then it is a culero play
