cabrón
bastard, jerk (can also be affectionate between close friends)expressionvulgarIn Mexican Spanish this word swings widely between a genuine insult and warm affection between very close male friends, entirely dependent on tone and relationship. As an insult it is strong; between close friends it functions like 'you bastard' said with a grin.
Ese cabrón siempre llega tarde a todo.That bastard is always late to everything.pendejo
