Definitions
Pendejo is a Spanish-origin insult widely used in Mexican and US Mexican-American communities, broadly meaning a stupid, foolish, or contemptible person. Literally it refers to pubic hair, which is the source of its punch. In Mexican Spanish it ranks among the most common general-purpose insults, ranging from mild teasing between friends to genuine contempt. In US usage it has crossed into broader American slang, especially in border regions and among Latino communities. Tone varies enormously by relationship and context.
