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
damn, for f***'s sake (general intensifier/exclamation)expressionvulgarOne of the most common expletives in casual speech. Used to express frustration, surprise, admiration, or emphasis. Its strength varies from very mild to strong depending on context and tone. Far more widely used and less taboo than its literal English translation might suggest.
Joder, no me esperaba que la reunión fuera a durar tanto.Damn, I wasn't expecting the meeting to last that long.coño
damn, bloody hell (exclamation of frustration or emphasis)expressionvulgarAnatomical in origin but functions as a general intensifier or exclamation of frustration, impatience, or surprise in very casual speech. Extremely frequent in unguarded spoken registers. Its force depends entirely on tone, it ranges from mild irritation to genuine anger.
¡Coño, que ya son las tres y todavía no has salido de casa!Bloody hell, it's already three o'clock and you still haven't left the house!estar hasta el coño / hasta las narices
to be fed up, to have had it up to hereexpressionvulgarFixed expressions of exhaustion or frustration with a situation or person. 'Hasta las narices' is the milder variant; 'hasta el coño' is more emphatic. Both are interchangeable in meaning.
Estoy hasta las narices de que siempre llegues tarde a las reuniones.I've had it up to here with you always arriving late to meetings.tener los santos cojones (de)
to have the nerve / audacity (to do something)expressionvulgarIntensified form of 'tener cojones de'. The addition of 'santos', literally 'holy', ramps up the ironic disbelief or outrage. Signals that the speaker is shocked by someone's brazenness.
¿Tiene los santos cojones de pedirme dinero después de lo que me hizo?He has the nerve to ask me for money after what he did to me?
