뜻
To be extremely fortunate or to have incredible good luck (informal, slightly vulgar).
문화적 배경
In Spain, this phrase is almost a national obsession during the football season. It's used to describe 'Zidane's luck' or 'Real Madrid's luck' in the Champions League. It's so common that you'll hear it on mainstream radio and TV sports shows. Argentines prefer 'tener un orto así de grande' or 'qué orto tenés.' 'Orto' is their specific slang for 'culo.' It is equally vulgar and used in the same contexts of extreme luck. In Mexico, while 'flor en el culo' is understood, people often use 'tener mucha leche' (to have a lot of milk) or 'tener una suerte de perro' (to have dog's luck) to express similar levels of fortune. Colombians might use 'tener arepa' (to have an arepa). If someone is lucky, they are 'arepudos.' It's a fun, food-based alternative to the more vulgar Spanish version.
Watch your audience!
Never use this with people you don't know well. It's funny with friends but can be seen as disrespectful with strangers.
The 'Clean' Version
If you want to be safe, just say 'Tiene una flor.' Everyone will know exactly what you mean without you having to say 'culo'.
