perra Explanation: "Cunt", as far as I know, could be swapped for the term "bitch", also offensive. It's a derogatory term for a woman who is difficult to deal with or who has a temper. I would use "perra" to get the meaning across in Spanish. |

perra Explanation: This is very common in Mexico and other LA countries, for a woman with an unpleasant presence. I don't think that you need to stick with the sexual innuendo in this translation of a casual personality evaluation in a running sentence, but it's important to keep it very colloquial. Another option for wording, at the least. Best of luck. |

zorra Explanation: To translate the real meaning of this term in context, the most appropiated option, to my mind, is "zorra" or "guarra". I have just read in some websites the dictionary translation for "cunt" in Latin America is "concha", but it does not make sense. |
