Picado

What does this term mean, I hear of it all the time in Colombia. "Como tiene ojos Picados"...

Just Curious,

Mishelle

I don't know but... To me, it almost looks like maybe someone isn't looking right, blinded, or not seeing right... I'm just guessing.

That doesnt make sense... tiene unos ojos muy picaros... it just means, why do you look so mean, basically, how is it that you are so malicious...

sorry ryan old buddy of mine form the conversational speaking club but "tiene ojos muy picaros" means the person has flirty or develish sneaky, adventurer eyes...think somewhat like a little rascal

Ojos Picaros, Negros y Embusteros I agree with you on your definition.
Ask the famous romantic Poet Julio Florez, who wrote:

TUS OJOS

- Ojos indefinible, ojos grandes,
como el cielo y el mar hondos y puros,
ojos como las selvas de los Andes:
misteriosos, fantasticos y oscuros.

- Ojos en cuyas misticas ojeras
se ve el rastro de incognitos pesares,
cual se ve en la aridez de las riberas
la huella de las ondas de los mares.

- Miradme con amor, eternamente,
ojos de melancolicas pupilas
ojos que semejais, bajo su frente,
pozos de aguas profundas y tranquilas.

- Miradme con amor, ojos divinos
que adornais como soles su cabeza,
y, encima de sus labios purpurinos,
pareceis dos abismos de tristeza.

- Miradme con amor, fulgidos ojos,
y cuando muera yo, que os amo tanto,
verted sobre mis lividos despojos,
el dulce manantial de vuestro llanto.

As we can see in this Julio Flores poem, Colombians are "Ojos" 'Eye man'
Corroncha and proud of it!

PICAROS, mean flirty like colombiano81 said, "Tiene unos ojos picaros" you have flirty eyes but we can use it to describe thieves too like "esos hombres son unos PICAROS, those men are thieves


PICADO means either "sting" like "yo fui PICADO or PICADA por un mosquito" OR we used as slang for big headed, Vain,pretentious
conceited like "esa mujer es muy PICADA" o ellos son muy PICADOS
