Ordered by what we think matters most.
The single most pervasive address term in informal Mexican speech. Originally derogatory, it has been completely neutralized between friends and peers and now functions almost as a verbal punctuation marker. Can open, close, or interrupt any sentence. Used between men primarily, though women also use it. Carries no insult when the relationship is friendly; can become sharp if tone turns hostile.
Extremely common exclamation expressing disbelief, shock, or exasperation. Literally a crude imperative, but in practice the vulgarity is heavily diluted through frequency, most speakers use it casually without strong awareness of the root meaning. Can be indignant ('you can't be serious') or delighted ('that's insane/awesome') depending purely on tone and context.
'Chingada madre' is a strong expletive of frustration or anger, roughly equivalent to 'goddamn it'. 'Chingados' works as an intensifying substitute for 'qué' or 'qué demonios'. Both are very common in informal or heated speech but would be inappropriate in professional settings. The root verb 'chingar' underlies a vast family of expressions central to Mexican vernacular.
Multipurpose phrase functioning as a greeting ('what's up?'), a demand for explanation ('what's the problem?'), or an expression of surprise. Literal translation is crude but the phrase is wholly idiomatic. Very high frequency in everyday informal speech across all ages. A softened near-equivalent is '¿qué onda?'
