cabrón
bastard / jerk (very strong insult, also used between close friends without hostility)expressionvulgarOne of the most frequently heard expletives in Mexican Spanish. Between friends it can be affectionate or neutral; directed at someone in anger it is a serious insult. Context and tone are everything.
Ese cabrón me debe dinero desde hace seis meses y ni me contesta.That bastard has owed me money for six months and won't even answer me.chingar
to screw over / to bother / to mess up (highly versatile vulgar verb)expressionvulgarThe root of a huge family of Mexican expletives. 'Cómo chinga' = 'what a pain / how annoying'. 'Me la voy a joder/chingar' = 'I'm going to destroy her/him'. Its meaning shifts sharply with context.
Deja de estar chingando y dime de una vez qué quieres.Stop messing around and just tell me what you want.gonorrea
son of a bitch / bastard (extremely strong insult, Colombian slang)expressionvulgarLiterally the name of a disease, repurposed as a very heavy insult in Colombian Spanish. Its appearance alongside Mexican slang signals that characters from Colombia are present in this dialogue.
Ese gonorrea nos dejó tirados cuando más lo necesitábamos.That bastard left us stranded when we needed him most.
