      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.
