Also spelled 'wey'. The most common informal address term between male peers in Mexican Spanish. Can be used as a term of address or to refer to someone. Not necessarily derogatory between friends; context and tone determine everything.

Direct equivalent of the English idiom. Very common in everyday Spanish; not regionally marked. The same image and meaning as in English.

Common Mexican colloquialism meaning to do something very quickly or immediately. Equivalent to 'rápido' or 'ahorita mismo' but more vivid and informal.

Well-known Mexican and Latin American saying meaning that money can make anything happen or get anyone to cooperate. Cynical in tone, often used humorously.
