Cochino, señorito

Hello everyone,

Scene in the movie Carne de horca.

Context: Lucero, learning that Juan Pablo has been deceiving him, orders him to be taken to the cellar.

One of the bandits (not su cruel as the others) asks: "¿Qué ha hecho?".

One of the others replies "Nos ha engañado a todos." Then he looks at Juan Pablo and says: "Cochino, señorito."

I suspect that the word “señorito” is used contemptuously in this context and the bandit, by using it, wants to say that Juan Pablo is the son of a rich father and therefore does not need to work to earn a living.

But how would you translate "Cochino, señorito" into English?

Dirty rich bastard? Dirty rich swine/pig?

I must admit I'm not very happy with my attempts.

The scene in question starts at 1:17:09.

Thank you.

Conchino in Spain is used like puerco in much of Latin America meaning, not only a pig, but something literally or figuratively filthy and disgusting. Señorito in this case is a spoiled brat, less than a man. Thanks for the movie link. It starts very artistially.

Tal cual.

By the way, it's "¡Cochino señorito!". As most adjectives preceding noun it is intended as categorical: "Nasty pompous brat!", "Bloody toffee-nosed!"

But here "cochino" means "exactly" forking, frikking, fracking.
