no mames
no way, are you serious, damn (expression of disbelief, shock, or reproach)expressionvulgarLiterally a crude verb phrase, but in everyday speech it functions as a versatile exclamation covering shock, disbelief, disapproval, or even mild admiration. The literal meaning is entirely absent in normal use. One of the most characteristic expressions of informal Mexican speech.
No mames, ¿de verdad terminaron el proyecto en un solo día?No way, did they really finish the project in a single day?qué pedo
what's going on, what the hell, what's upexpressionvulgarVersatile phrase. As a greeting among friends it means 'what's up'. As a reaction it expresses confusion or displeasure. The literal meaning ('what a fart') is completely absent in normal use. Distinctly Mexican.
¿Qué pedo con tu amigo? Llegó tardísimo y ni se disculpó.What's going on with your friend? He arrived super late and didn't even apologize.a huevo
hell yes, absolutely, for sureexpressionvulgarStrong affirmative. Used to express enthusiastic agreement or confirmation. The literal words are unrelated to the meaning. Commonly heard among friends of any age in casual settings.
¿Vas a venir al concierto? — ¡A huevo que sí!Are you coming to the concert? — Hell yes I am!
