No way! / This can't be happening! / Unbelievable!expressioncolloquialUsed to express shock, disbelief, or dismay. The literal meaning is 'it can't be,' but as an exclamation it functions closer to 'no way' or 'you've got to be kidding me.' Tone can range from playful surprise to genuine alarm depending on context.

Chicken! / Coward!expressioncolloquialUsed as a taunt meaning someone is cowardly or afraid to act. The literal word means 'hen,' but as an insult it parallels the English 'chicken.' Knowing the individual word does not reveal this figurative, taunting use, which is deeply embedded in everyday informal speech across Latin America.
