Pendejo is the most perfect one. It literally means pubic hair.
Cabrón is very powerful and basically means a man who consents his wife cheating on him. But you can also be a cabrona.

It comes from the same meaning. Children used to be really derided in Spanish it was not uncommon to call a kid “un mojón de mangle” : a mangrove turd and there was a saying “los niños hablan cuando las gallinas mean” : Children should only speak when chickens pee. Calling anyone “un pendejo” is dismissing them as nothing or an absolute piece of shit.
Just like Roger Waters did in Mexico when he projected on El Zocalo walls “Trump es un pendejo”
