In Argentina, "Boludo" or "Pelotudo". It's very common to hear both, but the first one is like a little bit friendly, you can use it with friends and they'll accept it, but in the other face, "Pelotudo" isn't that friendly and it is regularly used to just insult, haven't found anyone that used that ironically.

    They are used to say someone is stupid, though it's slightly more offensive than the word stupid. As for a direct translation, yes, it means someone with big or with too many balls, and you can compare it to fuckwit or dickhead in the sense that the brains of the person are no better than their genitals.
