What does cabrón mean?
Expression
bastard
A hard insult: someone who has behaved badly towards you or others — ese cabrón me ha engañado. Said of someone who is not there, it is every bit as strong as it sounds.
El cabrón del casero no me devuelve la fianza.you lucky sod
Admiration or clean envy at someone's luck or nerve: ¡qué cabrón, has conseguido entradas! In this sense it is nearer to qué máquina than to 'bad person', and it is still vulgar.
¡Qué cabrón! ¡Has conseguido entradas para el concierto!you sod, fondly
Between friends it can be pure affection wearing a swear word, tacked onto the end of a sentence — anda, cabrón — or inside a mock telling-off: ¡serás cabrón! It threatens nobody.
¡Serás cabrón! Te has comido mi trozo.
