<p>Colgate means "go hang yourself" in Spanish</p>
<p>colgar (in Spanish) means to hang, and if you add "te" to the end of any verb, it means "to yourself". Henge, colgate is "go hang yourself"</p>
<p>Yes, something my spanish teacher pointed out *every time I wore a Colgate shirt to school. Man, I hated that teacher, lol.</p>
<p>Actually the tú command would be "cuélgate," not "colgate," because colgar is a stem-changing verb, but that doesn't even make sense because colgar means to hang up something, whereas the verb ahorcar is used to refer to a person hanging himself. So, if you wanted to tell someone to hang himself, you would say, "Ahórcate."</p>
<p>so told homer</p>
