damn, bloody hell, for crying out loud (general expletive of frustration, surprise, or emphasis)expressionvulgarOne of the most frequent expletives in everyday casual speech. Covers a wide emotional range from mild annoyance to strong anger or sheer surprise. Can also function as an intensifier mid-sentence. Its literal meaning is entirely absent in normal use.
Joder, ya son las doce y todavía no hemos comido.Damn, it's already twelve and we still haven't eaten.coño
damn, bloody hell (general expletive expressing surprise, frustration, or emphasis)expressionvulgarLiterally anatomical, but in practice functions as an all-purpose intensifier or exclamation, much like 'bloody hell' in British English. Very frequent in casual speech and used across genders. Its force depends entirely on tone and context.
¡Coño, qué susto me has dado al entrar así!Bloody hell, you gave me such a fright bursting in like that!
