Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.

chingado
damn it / fucking (strong expletive, used as interjection or intensifier)expressionvulgarOne of the most versatile and frequent Mexican Spanish expletives. Functions as an interjection of frustration, an intensifier, or part of insult phrases. Appears in several compound expressions in this episode. The exact meaning shifts entirely by context and tone.
Chingado, se me olvidó pagar la renta y ya me cortaron el internet.Damn it, I forgot to pay rent and they already cut my internet.cabrón
bastard, asshole (strong insult, context-dependent)expressionvulgarExtremely common Mexican Spanish expletive. Tone shifts dramatically with context, among close male friends it can be affectionate or playful, but directed at someone in anger it is a serious insult. Used here primarily in anger and confrontation.
No puedo creer lo que hizo ese cabrón, nos dejó solos en el peor momento.I can't believe what that bastard did, he left us alone at the worst moment.
