chingarnos / chingarme / chingando
to screw us over / to screw me over / screwing (someone) overexpressionvulgar'Chingar' carries a vast semantic range in Mexican Spanish: to screw over, bother, harm, ruin, or sexually conquer depending on context and conjugation. In business or family rivalry contexts it means deliberate sabotage or harm. The verb is almost always read as hostile when used about a third party's intentions.
No confíes en ese socio, lleva meses buscando cómo chingarte el negocio.Don't trust that partner, he's been looking for months to screw you out of the business.no mames
no way / are you serious / holy shitexpressionvulgarOne of the most versatile exclamations in Mexican Spanish. Expresses disbelief, surprise, outrage, or even admiration depending on intonation. Literally rooted in a vulgar verb but its shock value has diminished through constant use; it now functions more as an emphatic interjection than a truly offensive term in most casual speech. Still inappropriate in formal contexts.
¿No mames, en serio ganó ese equipo? Estaban jugando horrible.No way, that team actually won? They were playing terribly.
