Hi, I'd like to ask any native speaker how frequently is the word 'pig-head/pig-headed' used in informal conversation nowadays.
I have to translate the following: "Cabezón, el Francisco, pibito de mierda." This is highly informal Argentine slang and I'm trying to find modern slang that resembles the way a person from a poor neighborhood would say "stubborn".
Another slang word I found was "bone-head". Exactly how frequent do these terms occur? Are they still in fashion?
Thanks in advance.
