It's a cuss word alright but its not our filthiest. "Leche" is widely-used even in everyday language and it's not really that bad. I mean we can say it even in polite society and no one would think less of us. I can't seem to think of a direct English translation. The closest I could think of is like saying "shut up" - with an attitude!
I hope this explanation helps.

It has 2 meanings.
Leche could mean milk.
Leche could also be used as an expression when you're pissed off.

Leche, it is correctly stated, comes from the Spanish word for "milk". However, for this context, it pertains for a different type of "milk", namely, "c-u-m". So the expression, "Leche!" literally would mean "C-u-m on you!". The gross nature makes puts it in the category of foul speech. Something that you'll probably find your grandma washing your mouth with soap if she catches you saying it.
However, since four-letter words, have already turned fashionable in this twisted society. "Leche" now has a similar impact as merely saying "sh!t". But just as a knowledgeable individual would wonder why "manure" should be considered part of everyday speech, then too should we educate someone on the use of "leche" when we hear it misused.

I saw it once in a Tagalog movie as an insult. The context was disparaging the person in a way to say they didn't have a good up bringing and status. After doing some research, it's from "mala leche" (lit. "bad milk") and translates as "malevolent", "nasty piece of work", "ill-feeling" . It's similar to "buwisit" (annoying, with bad luck), but it's worse and more offensive.

Some friends and i went to a philipino restaurant one night on the suggestion of a philipino friend and I still have no idea what we ate, but everything was excellent. I know we ate something in adobo, and that was quite tasty. We also had some barbequed pork skewers, 2 orders of pancit, and something in a wonderful red sauce that was slightly spicy and had a slight vinegar smell. It's easy to see the french influence in the food, everything comes in or with a sauce and the sauces are rich and complex. Lumpia (sp?) is also quite good, a friend of mine makes it for potlucks all the time.

LOL! Same here. I'm still wondering what it reallty means...
It's an old folk's term if somebody or something pissed them off.
I heard my grandpa said that word a lot of time when he's in a bad mood or pissed off when he was still alive. May he rest in peace.
