Cabrón is Spanish for a male goat, However, Latinos have always been very clever, and earthy, with our use of slang expressions.

Goats have a reputation for eating anything, hence their association with the lowly likes of a tough guy. But, as is often the case in slang, negative words can get a positive spin. Think badsickill, or wicked in English. This inversion also took place for cabrón, which evolved to name someone like Ass-Donlini.

I am a fan but not a carpenter or handyman, but she's my Lady, who loves The Carpenters, which is good enough for this guy in love.

The Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo of Karen and Richard Carpenter, siblings. They produced a distinctively soft musical style, combining Karen's contralto vocals with Richard's harmonizing, arranging, and composition skills.  https://www.carpentersofficial.com/#/
