cabrón
bastard, jerk (strong insult, also used between close friends as rough affection)expressionvulgarOne of the most versatile vulgar terms in Mexican Spanish. Tone shifts dramatically by context, between friends it can be warm, even celebratory; toward an enemy it is a sharp insult. Frequency here is high and spans both uses.
Ese cabrón siempre llega tarde y nunca avisa.That bastard always shows up late and never gives a heads-up.pendejo
idiot, fool, dumbassexpressionvulgarCarries a strong sense of stupidity or naivety rather than malice. In Mexican Spanish it lands harder than 'fool' but not as hard as some other insults. Used here both as a noun and adjective.
No seas pendejo y lee las instrucciones antes de empezar.Don't be an idiot, read the instructions before you start.chingada
damn (expletive, intensifier)expressionvulgarCore Mexican Spanish expletive with a very wide range of idiomatic uses. 'A la chingada' means 'to hell with it'; 'chingada madre' is a strong oath of surprise or frustration. Context entirely determines the shade of meaning.
¡Chingada, se me cayó el café encima!Damn it, I spilled coffee all over myself!
