hijo de puta
son of a bitch, bastardexpressionvulgarOne of the most common strong insults. Can be directed at someone in fury, or used almost admiringly between close friends in a way that does not translate into English naturally. In this episode it appears in direct confrontation and never affectionately.
Ese conductor nos cerró el paso y se fue sin disculparse, ¡menudo hijo de puta!That driver cut us off and left without apologising, what a son of a bitch!hostia puta
holy shit, fuck (strong expression of shock or pain)expressionvulgar'Hostia' on its own is already a strong expletive. Adding 'puta' raises the intensity. Used spontaneously when someone is startled, hurt, or incredulous. Extremely common in heated or high-stress speech.
¡Hostia puta, me he quemado con el horno otra vez!Holy shit, I've burned myself on the oven again!puta
whore, prostitute (also used as an intensifier in exclamations)expressionvulgarFunctions both as a noun referring to a sex worker and as an intensifying modifier (e.g., 'de puta madre' = excellent, 'hostia puta' = expression of shock). One of the most versatile intensifiers in colloquial speech. The tone shifts entirely with context, it can be affectionate, proud, furious, or purely expletive.
Conducía tan rápido que llegamos de puta madre antes de que cerrara el restaurante.He drove so fast we got there brilliantly before the restaurant closed.
