'Chingón' is a strong compliment meaning excellent or capable; 'chingado' expresses frustration; 'de la chingada' means awful or terrible. One of the most productive roots in Mexican slang.
El tipo es un chingón para los negocios, siempre cierra los tratos.The guy is a total badass at business, he always closes deals.no mames
no way / are you serious / stop itexpressionvulgarOne of the most versatile Mexican exclamations, expressing disbelief, surprise, or frustration. Softened in cleaner registers to 'no manches'. Said between friends or peers; the vulgar form signals intimacy or strong emotion.
