Pendejo is the most perfect one. It literally means pubic hair.
Cabrón is very powerful and basically means a man who consents his wife cheating on him. But you can also be a cabrona.
Pinchi pendejo cabrón
Buen combo.
Here in Spain Cabron can be used in a teasing way between friends, translated as simply “hard headed”.
I’ve been told the worst thing to call someone here is mal nacimiento.
Oh, so like “cunt” in Australia.
Very much so. It can be used as a verb, too, meaning to do something obviously stupid.
Pendejo in Argentina is someone young.
It comes from the same meaning. Children used to be really derided in Spanish it was not uncommon to call a kid “un mojón de mangle” : a mangrove turd and there was a saying “los niños hablan cuando las gallinas mean” : Children should only speak when chickens pee. Calling anyone “un pendejo” is dismissing them as nothing or an absolute piece of shit.
Just like Roger Waters did in Mexico when he projected on El Zocalo walls “Trump es un pendejo”
