/Sounds like "ca" (as in "car") + "bron" (rhymes with "tone")/
A bold, tough, impressive, or troublesome person in Mexico and Spain. One of the most versatile words in Spanish, it can range from the harshest insult to the highest compliment depending on tone and context. Calling an exam 'cabrón' means it's brutally hard, but calling a businessman 'cabrón' means he's a total boss.
"Está bien cabrón ese examen, necesitas estudiar mucho. -> That exam is really tough, you need to study a lot."
"Es bien cabrón para los negocios, todo lo que toca funciona. -> He's a beast at business, everything he touches works."
/Sounds like "ca" (as in "car") + "bron" (rhymes with "tone")/
The most versatile word in the Mexican universe. It can be an insult, a compliment, an expression of surprise, or pure admiration. Shouting '¡Qué cabrón!' can mean someone is incredible or terrible, and only context and tone will tell you which one. It's the Swiss Army knife of Mexican slang.
"¡Qué cabrón eres, resolviste todo en cinco minutos! -> You're a badass, you solved everything in five minutes!"
"Ese cabrón me debe dinero desde hace un año. -> That jerk owes me money from a year ago."

Persona dedicada, responsable y que se esfuerza en lo que hace, especialmente en estudios o trabajo. Es el cumplido favorito de las mamás mexicanas cuando su hijo por fin se pone a estudiar.
