cabrón
bastard / asshole (strong insult, but also used affectionately between friends)expressionvulgarExtremely common in Mexican Spanish. The meaning shifts entirely depending on tone and relationship: between close friends it can be warm and joking; directed at an enemy it is a serious insult. Context is everything.
¡Ese cabrón me quitó el lugar de estacionamiento sin decir nada!That bastard took my parking spot without saying anything!pendejo
idiot / fool / dumbassexpressionvulgarVery common Mexican insult ranging from playful ribbing to serious contempt. Less extreme than 'cabrón' in some contexts but still clearly vulgar. Widely used across Latin American Spanish.
No seas pendejo, piensa bien antes de tomar esa decisión.Don't be an idiot, think carefully before making that decision.hijo de la chingada
son of a bitch (extreme insult)expressionvulgarOne of the strongest insults in Mexican Spanish. Used to express intense anger or contempt. The base word 'chingada' is distinctly Mexican and carries a level of harshness far beyond a simple insult.
Cuando descubrió que lo habían robado, gritó '¡hijo de la chingada!' en plena calle.When he found out he'd been robbed, he shouted 'son of a bitch!' right in the middle of the street.pedo
problem / situation / deal (can also literally mean 'fart')expressionvulgarIn Mexican slang, 'pedo' is used constantly to mean 'problem', 'situation', or 'drama'. 'Hacerse el pedo' means to make a fuss. 'No hay pedo' means 'no problem'. 'Qué pedo' means 'what's going on' or 'what's the deal'. The literal meaning is rarely intended in conversation.
¿Qué pedo con tu hermano? Lleva tres días sin contestar el teléfono.What's going on with your brother? He's been not answering the phone for three days.
