qué carajo
what the hell (expression of surprise, confusion, or frustration)expressionvulgar'Carajo' is a strong expletive widely used in emphatic exclamations. It can open a question ('¿Qué carajo haces?') or stand alone as an outburst. Less taboo than some other expletives but still clearly informal and strong.
¿Qué carajo está pasando aquí? Nadie me avisó de nada.What the hell is going on here? Nobody warned me about anything.un pedazo de mierda
a piece of shit (strongly insulting way to call someone worthless or contemptible)expressionvulgarA fixed insult formula. 'Pedazo de' intensifies the noun that follows, and 'mierda' makes it harshly offensive. Used in heated arguments between people who have abandoned all pretence of civility.
Cuando lo vio robando a su propio hermano, lo llamó un pedazo de mierda y se fue dando un portazo.When she saw him stealing from his own brother, she called him a piece of shit and slammed the door on the way out.
