Explanation:
This should be in Catalan-English, since "collonut" comes from the Catalan "collons" (cognate to the Spanish "cojonudo" and "cojones").

The above are all possible options.. you can always make more emphatic by qualifying with "bloody", "effing" etc, although "collonut" is not particularly rude.

Explanation:
Outstanding! could be a way as well,but definitively it comes from the translation from Catalan(Catalunya Community Language):Collonut! that means: Cojonudo! into Spanish that means some of the words we have written up at the beginning.
Visca el Barca! Mes que un Club!
