Pendejo is related to the Latin pectiniculus, meaning "pubic hair" or "anal hair". It may be translated as "asshole" in many situations, though it carries an extra implication of rank and willful incompetence. The less extreme version, which is used in most Spanish speaking countries, translates more or less as "jackass". The term however, has very high offensive connotations in Puerto Rico.
In Mexico, Central and Northern South America, pendejo refers to a stupid person (estúpido), synonymous with idiota (idiot) or moron (moron), although it carries a much stronger connotation than the words in English may imply. It is a much stronger word in Mexico and Central America than it is in Panama, where, while still impolite, it is not as offensive, especially among younger people. In Peru it means a person who gains benefits from an advantageous situation in an immoral or deceptively persuasive manner (usually involving sexual gain and promiscuity, but not limited to it) and if it used referring to a female, ella es pendeja, means she is promiscuous (but the sense of female con-man can also apply). There the word "pendejada" and a whole family of related words have meanings that stem from these. In South America pendejo is also a vulgar, yet inoffensive word, for children. It also signifies a person with a disorderly or irregular life. In Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic, it has different meanings depending on the situation. It can range from ¡Te cogieron de pendejo! = "You were fooled!" (e.g. by a con-man), to ¡Qué tipa pendeja! = "What an asshole!" (as when some unknown woman unexpectedly offends you with no apparent motive, and just leaves turning her back on you). In Mexico and some countries of Central America, especially El Salvador, una pendejada is used to describe something incredibly stupid that someone has done. In many countries, "pendejo" also means coward (with a stronger connotation), as in ¡No huyas, pendejo! = "Don't run away, chicken-shit!".

  • @zuzugraphics Why exactly is your description entirely in English when the video is in Spanish?

  • @Mastodon704 I suppose is the result of living a bilingual life.

  • Pues a el le tocaron unos pendejos con punteria..nunca es bueno decirle pendejo a nadie...eso es ofender y subestimar...el fue un pendejo en una camioneta.

  • @imunoz1967 , si quiza tengas un poco de razon, pero el señor esta sobrevalorado, creeme que hay autores o personajes que pueden transmitir esos mismos sentimientos, es cuestion de abrirse a mas fuentes y generar una mejor critica, recuerda que hay que sofisticar nuestros gustos jaja, obvio no espero cambiar los gustos de las personas cada quien es libre de elegir sus gustos. Suerte :)

  • @ordnajeladarkside No es lo unico que hizo y transmitio al mundo por eso muchos lo lloran hoy. Pero su obra mas hermosa fue la de ayudar a la gente a entender lo escencial de la vida: el amor, la paz y la amistad
