Didn't understand everything but "no mas naranja" was funny
- "Fuck you, MAGA assholes*. No more orange 2024."
  *pendejo, as a slang word, is not directly translatable but the equivalent of 'asshole.'
  
  I always thought pendejo was similar to dickhead. I first remember hearing it in GTA San Andreas and I think they had a translation in the subtitles. I think. It's been a minute.
  
  Is there a functional distinction between "asshole" and "dickhead" that I've never been familiar with despite being a native English speaker?
  
  Thinking about it, I feel that a dickhead does dickhead things more randomly, but an asshole does asshole things for a reason, on purpose.
  Like a dickhead may fuck things up for everyone, whereas asshole fucks up things for other people.
  Just my thoughts.
  
  I feel similarly. For someone being a dickhead, they're being rude because they don't care about you.
  For an asshole, they're being rude because they want to be mean.

  Assholes are shitty people, and dicks fuck other people.
  
  But sometimes, dicks fuck assholes too! (insert dick/asshole/pussy monologue from Team America)
  
  I also first heard it in San Andreas. The way I remember it, one of the Latino gangsters calls you or big smoke a pendejo and I think the guy responds with "who are you calling a dickhead?!" Or something.
  So it gets translated, but indirectly, which I think is cool.
  
  The guy calls CJ a pendejo and CJ's sister is the one who says "who are you calling a dickhead?!"
  
  Oh, it's starting to come back to me now. You're right, thanks. Been a while.
  
  It's generally translated as "asshole," most commonly in a phrase like "¡chinga tu madre, pinche pendejo!" meaning "fuck you, asshole!"
  
  Yeah, it's "dickhead/dumbass/asshole" but not as offensive.
  
  When my Colombian wife uses it, she just means "stupid".
  
  Stupid asshole lol
  
  orange
  I read that first as "NARNJA" and... yes, I agreed.
- Chinga tu MAGA: Variant of Cinga tu madre, "fuck your mother"
  Pendejo: asshole, dickhead, dumbass. SUPER versatile personal insult.
  No mas naranja: no more orange
  
  Thank you! Google translate was not helpful
  
  I've always heard pendejo as "idiot" but ruder.
  
  Pendejo is a word you feel moreso than you translate. "Idiot, but ruder" certainly falls under its umbrella.
  
  “dumbass” is a better translation, as if Red Forman were saying it
  
  A combination of idiot and asshole. Someone who's just stupid or just obnoxious isn't a pendejo, you have to be both.
  
  Lmao what an aggressive delivery service advertisement! "It can be sent, stupid!"
