Cabrón
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.
