'Chapucero' is used in Spain too. Brits would say 'cowboy'.

I've heard "cabron" said in an insulting fashion.
Other than a male goat, what might that mean?

I think it means that your mother sleeps around. I definitely know calling someone a "cabron" in puerto rico is considered fighting words amongst the older generation. But, I was watching a movie and the actor yelled out "No me toce, cabron", hahaha.

That carpenter is a chapucero, look at the table he made. My child could have done a better job.

A chapucero is also a swindler (estafador).
Thank you Norma Rosa

The classic meaning of cabrón is cuckold - someone whose wife has "put the horns" i.e. been unfaithful to him. Horns -> goat.

bajo a chinchilin - this is when something smells bad. My mom said that this was probably a stinky animal but she never saw it. She has just heard the expression ever since she was very small.

nariz de fronono - this is supposed to mean a big nose.
