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.

cabrón
bastard, son of a bitch (strong insult expressing anger or contempt)expressionvulgarOne of the most common strong insults. Intensity depends heavily on tone: between close friends it can be affectionate and near-neutral, but in conflict it is aggressive and offensive. Literally refers to a male goat, but that meaning is never intended in this usage.
¡Ese cabrón me robó la cartera en el metro!That bastard stole my wallet on the metro!hijo de puta
son of a bitch (very strong insult)expressionvulgarA very strong insult used to express extreme anger or contempt. Like cabrón, it can shift toward affectionate teasing in some close-friendship contexts, but in confrontational dialogue it is purely hostile.
Cuando descubrió que le habían traicionado, le llamó hijo de puta a la cara.When he found out he had been betrayed, he called him a son of a bitch to his face.
