Carajo is actually one of those words that can have many meanings depending on the situation. If you check the official Spanish Dictionary (Real Academia Española) you'll find all this definitions for the same for different contexts (*some of them might sound funny, but are still defined by the dictionary)

Carajo: 1. Slang for virile member. 2.Word used to replace the name of someone who you don't want to mention. 3. Expression to show surprise, disagreement, opposition.

Al carajo: Expression to show disagreement. i.e. Al carajo el informe (To hell that report)

Del carajo: Very big or intense. i.e. Un frío del carajo. (It's very cold)

importar un carajo: Not caring at all about something. i.e.Tu vida me importa un carajo (I don't care about your life at all)

irse al carajo: Something gets ruined or with a negative ending. i.e. Mi día se fue al carajo (My day went bad)

mandar(ask someone to go to) al carajo: Tell someone to go to hell. i.e. Andate al carajo! (Go to hell)

un carajo: Nothing. i.e. No entiendo un carajo (I don't understand anything)

Notice that this word is always somehow offensive, so be careful when you use it.

Go to hell. A Spanish word or expression when you are mad or hit yourself in the finger or something like that. We say it For example: De donde carajos vienes? From what the fu...do you come from? Got it? Everything depends in how you use it. You hit in your little toe you said "carajo" means also "sh..." As you can see we use it in Spanish in a very diverse forms.

Carajo is a "soft" bad word in Latin America.
I've seen a paint of a man with his head covered with garlic crops. The name of the paint was "El Carajos"
The meaning would be "the garlic faced guy", however no one who uses this word would realize this fact.
Venezuelans use this word as "este carajo" or "este carajito" as Americans "this guy"

Is something like in English: Hell!

The word means something like "hell" in modern Spanish e.g. Vete al carajo (Go to hell!). However, "Online etymology" traces its origin ultimately to a Vulgar Latin (or spoken Latin; Popular Latin) caraculum meaning a "little arrow." Caution with this word.
