cabrón
bastard, jerk (used as insult or strong affectionate address)expressionvulgarTone-dependent: as an insult it is harsh, but between close male friends it can be warm and affectionate. Common in Mexican speech but always informal and inappropriate in polite company.

expression of shock, frustration, or anger (very strong expletive)expressionvulgarOne of the strongest expletives in Mexican Spanish. Signals intense emotion. 'Chingada' alone or in compounds ('hijo de la chingada', 'a la fregada') appears throughout the episode in moments of extreme stress.
