Pècora, from mala pècora, a sheep that goes astray from the herd. And fura :)

Catalan has sheep to mean slut. Woodworm for somebody that pesters or annoys insistently. Ferret for a sly person. A rat, contrary to other languages where it's a traitor, is more used for stingy people.

Both. "Cabrón" is specifically billygoat. Goat is used in constructions like "como una cabra" in Spain to mean crazy.

They are probably referencing the balm.

Four words and they couldn't put them on the headline. "He ran for governor".

If your way of making money makes you really fear people will be mad at you, you should be asking yourself what's wrong with your way of making money. That is, if you care. But if you don't care don't whine.

I don't follow, what's your proposal for them?

That looks like an extension of the handicap principle, which is quite blindly accepted (like the alpha males thing) but has not a lot of evidence.

There is some real signaling that looks kinda handicappy, like the ancient Chinese growing long fingernails: at first sight it was detrimental to their ability to do manual work. But it actually isn't because they didn't need to do manual work. That's different in my opinion from botching one's face, as they see the procedures as an improvement over the alternative of looking their actual age. They are fleeing from the wrinkles, and that face is a consequence, not a goal.

In the Jálama Valley they speak Fala: Romance, similar to Portuguese, and way less spoken.

They exploited job applicants and made them work for free too.

Unless I'm missing something, all (regularised) immigrants in Spain are EU residents.

ETA: but yeah, taxing empty homes would be better but the people who have more of those probably also have friends in the government.
