puta madre
damn it, holy shit, for fuck's sakeexpressionvulgarExtremely common Latin American Spanish expletive used to express surprise, frustration, or disgust. Tone shifts entirely with context: can signal admiration or rage. Said in isolation, it functions like a standalone curse.

Me ofrecieron un trabajo sin sueldo fijo, así que que se vaya a la mierda esa oferta.They offered me a job with no fixed salary, so screw that offer.
