removed rfvtag from sense 4.

Would it be appropriate to note here that cabrón is somewhat more closely equivalent to the english word "bastard?" This is only because even though they are both genuine words, their use is avoided in everyday conversation. Although cabrón literally translates to "large goat," it is usually said as "macho cabrio" instead. --Andy 22:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes absolutely...the defs should be glosses as well rather than descriptive translations. I've amended the page. Widsith 22:48, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

RFV-sense "(informal, Mexico) mate, dude (term of endearment between friends)". Tagged (with the wrong template) and not listed. - -sche (discuss) 00:58, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

This could be like many similar English slang terms that are really just outrageously over-the-top insults playfully used among friends. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:09, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

My Spanish is pretty bad, so I don't feel like adding cites, but this seems easy. Take a look at google books:"gracias, cabrón" which seems to be full of people using it in a friendly way, with more than three valid hits on the first page of results. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Ah, gracias! Great collocation idea. Duly kept (though I've reordered the senses so that it's not first). - -sche (discuss) 03:09, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
