Guanabee Glossary: Cabrón
26 November 2007, 6:30 PM. By Alex Alvarez
Some time ago, we were severely chastised over our lack of familiarity with a certain Latino slang word. A quick poll around the office revealed that almost none of us had ever heard of it. Which made us wonder if there aren’t many words that we can all share with one another. After all, Latino culture is a diverse thing. And so, it is to that end that we present the Guanabee Glossary.
[Ed. Note: The above paragraph is the intro that appears before every Guanabee Glossary in reference to the original inspiration of the segment. It does not refer to the word cabron. Obviously we need to change it because we are so fucking sick of hearing, "Oh my god! I can't believe you've never heard of that word."]
cabrón
A popular and often, but not always, pejorative expression that can have several meanings. It may refer to a male goat, a bastard/motherfucker or a cuckold. Additionally, it can be used to mean “buddy” as a term of endearment.
Cuidado, pinche cabrón; que estás hablando de mi mamá.
Careful, you fucking bastard/man-goat/cuckold/buddy of mine; that’s my mother you’re talking about.
The term may also be used as an adjective to express great awe or astonishment.
Las caderas de tu mamá están cabrón, güey.
Your mom’s hips are awe-inspiring, man.

In Cuba the term is used to mean bastard, SOB or “bad” in the “good” sense.
Oh my God, where are you guys from? You’ve never heard of cabron? That is kind of shocking to me… let me guess, y’all are those caribbean type latinos from the east coast? Dios Mio!
Uh, yep what planet are you from? In the Canary Islands, we’re aware of the various nuances of this word.
perhaps these guys never had never spoken to a fresh from mexico mexican. or even a second or third generation mexican? cabrones! jk.

i called an ecuadorian guy a cabron once for grabbing my butt. he didn’t know what it meant, and grabbed my butt again.

@M&M: perreo–and please don’t throw your back out reacting to that news.
You can substitute CABRON with cañon or camion to not offend innocent bystanders, like ” Esta cañon el asunto”.
