In most of the countries, a "pendejo" means an "idiot", "stupid", etc. In Argentina this word is used a lot, but with other meaning very different; it's used to say "boy" or "girl" (pendeja) with derogatory intention or even without it if the entonation and context determines so. It's even used to tell someone that he looks younger than his actual age. (This meaning is only applied in Argentina).

Hi. "Pendejo" is highly used in México. It has a lot of meanings (Idiot, asshole, jerk). It's a bad word, so be careful how you use it.
