We Came for You

One of the most common vulgar insults in Mexican Spanish. Can express anger, contempt, or in some contexts even rough affection between close friends. Tone determines meaning completely.

Common in Mexican and Mexican-American slang for work or a task at hand. Can also refer to a specific job or assignment. Used in working-class and street registers.

A very strong Mexican vulgar expression used to dismiss or curse someone out. Not used in polite company under any circumstances. Signals extreme anger or contempt.

Short for 'compañero' or 'compadre'. Used as a casual address between men who share some bond or who are speaking informally. Common across Mexican and Mexican-American speech.

Standard Mexican colloquial greeting or question about a situation. Equivalent to 'what's up?' as both a greeting and a genuine inquiry into what is happening.

Used to say something was a joke or bluff, not real. More common in Colombian and some Latin American registers but also present in Mexican speech. The phrase 'pura guasa' means 'total bluff' or 'just kidding'.

Used in the dialogue in the phrase 'no me creas pelotudo', meaning 'don't think I'm stupid'. More common in Rioplatense Spanish but understood in broader Latin American contexts, especially in media. Can be quite offensive depending on region and tone.

Used as a nickname or address for someone who acts tough or has physical presence. Playfully sarcastic or affectionate depending on context. Derived from 'chicho' (muscle).
