Ordered by what we think matters most.

no mames
no way; are you serious; you're kidding meexpressionvulgarExtremely common reaction of disbelief, surprise, or exasperation. Originally vulgar but now so embedded in everyday informal Mexican speech that many speakers no longer register it as strong. Tone can be playful or genuinely shocked depending on context.
¿Ya van a subir el precio de la gasolina otra vez? ¡No mames!They're raising gas prices again? No way, seriously?a huevo
hell yes; absolutely; of course (strong affirmation)expressionvulgarVery strong, enthusiastic agreement or affirmation. Completely standard in informal speech among friends despite its literal anatomy reference, which is entirely ignored by speakers. Avoid in formal or professional contexts.
¿Vas a ir al partido del sábado? —¡A huevo que sí!Are you going to Saturday's game? — Hell yes I am!
