joder
damn, bloody hell, for fuck's sake (expletive expressing frustration, surprise, or emphasis)expressionvulgarOne of the most frequent expletives in colloquial speech. Tone shifts completely with context: it can express anger, disbelief, affection, or simple emphasis. Between friends it often carries no real offence. Softened form 'joer' is used in polite company or on TV.
¡Joder, ya son las dos de la mañana y todavía no he terminado!Bloody hell, it's already two in the morning and I still haven't finished!
