    Coño. The translation varies by country but basically means pussy and is just a vulgar swear word. Pretty tame, but a Colombian I worked with used it super frequently.

      I don’t know if there are any geographical exceptions but as a native I’ve never heard “coño” directed at someone as an insult in the same way as “cunt” is, more like a (very rude) exclamation.

        Yeah. It’s really basically like fuck in English. Tons of different meanings and is more of a spice of swearing.
