Cabron may be used in many countries. However this is the Chicana's definition...it can be used in many ways.(a)clever;slick.(b)A job well done
(c)dude (d) were the shit (in a positive way) (e)a difficult situation.

In Spanish with many different meanings. The real meaning is the male goat. Female is cabra and male is cabron. But slang use is far more common. Depending on countries it seems to have somehow different but similar meanings. A good definiton that would apply in almost all Spanish speaking countries would be asshole-fucker-bitch. In some places the word also means a person that is not with his partner. Example: Se fue de cabron. (He went to fuck around.) In this way it always has the connotation that he is looking for an affair.

It can also mean "dude", "nice" or be a generally insulting word. It can really mean anything, you can get a smile or a stab. It's all in the delivery. That guy is a cabron. (being cheated on)

Ay caramba!

So many definitions for this word. The first time I was "aware" of this word was when I heard it in a Red Hot Chili Peppers song appropriately called "Cabron".

It was from the "By the Way" album circa 2002. I was 16 then, I think.

In the chorus, Anthony Kiedis repeatedly shouts out, "Cabrooon...cabroooon!".

It was a catchy tune, and when I found out that cabron meant "asshole", I loved the song even more.

The name got stuck on me, somehow, and when I started tattooing, I chose to hold fast to that name.
