cabrón
bastard, jerk (very strong insult, also used between close friends as 'dude' depending on tone)expressionvulgarOne of the most frequent insults in Mexican Spanish.

to screw over, to mess up (someone's situation); also used as an exclamation of frustrationexpressionvulgarCommon in Mexican speech as a verb meaning to ruin or harm, and as an expletive exclamation. Less taboo than in some other contexts but still informal and forceful.
