The literal meaning is anatomical and obscene, but in everyday speech the vulgarity is often felt as moderate rather than extreme, especially among friends. Intensity varies with tone.
¿Ya subieron el precio otra vez? ¡No mames, están locos!Did they raise the price again? No way, they're crazy!ni madres
absolutely not, no way in hell, not a chanceexpressionvulgarA strong, emphatic negative in Mexican Spanish. More forceful than a plain 'no'. Common in heated arguments or when flatly refusing something. The word 'madres' appears in many Mexican expressions with meanings unrelated to motherhood.
¿Que le pida disculpas después de lo que hizo? ¡Ni madres!That I should apologize to him after what he did? No way in hell!
