Castilianon NetflixTo carry out the biggest heist in history, a mysterious man called The Professor recruits a band of eight robbers who have a single characteristic: none of them has anything to lose. Five months of seclusion - memorizing every step, every detail, every probability - culminate in eleven days locked up in the National Coinage and Stamp Factory of Spain, surrounded by police forces and with dozens of hostages in their power, to find out whether their suicide wager will lead to everything or nothing.

joder
fuck / damn / bloody hellexpressionvulgarExtremely common all-purpose expletive in everyday Castilian Spanish. Used to express frustration, surprise, emphasis, or exasperation. Despite its literal origin, its force is heavily diluted through overuse and it functions more like a strong intensifier than a true obscenity in casual conversation. Can appear at the start, middle, or end of a sentence.
¡Joder, se ha puesto a llover justo cuando íbamos a salir!Damn, it started raining right when we were about to leave!tocar los cojones
to piss someone off / to mess someone aroundexpressionvulgarVery common vulgar expression meaning to annoy, bother, or waste someone's time. Can mean either that a person or situation is irritating, or that someone is deliberately messing around rather than being serious. Extremely widespread in informal Castilian speech between peers; its shock value is low in casual contexts.
Para ya de tocarme los cojones con esas excusas y dime la verdad de una vez.Stop messing me around with those excuses and tell me the truth for once.el puto / la puta
the fucking / bloody (intensifier)expressionvulgarAdjectival intensifier derived from a vulgar noun but functioning primarily as an emphatic modifier in colloquial speech. Can express admiration, frustration, or emphasis depending on tone and context. When used to express admiration (as in calling someone 'el puto amo'), it is paradoxically complimentary. Extremely common in casual Castilian Spanish among adults.
Ese chaval es el puto crack del equipo; no falla ni un pase.That kid is the absolute star of the team; he doesn't miss a single pass.
