no mames
no way / are you serious / that's insaneexpressionvulgarExtremely common Mexican exclamation expressing disbelief, frustration, or outrage. Literally derived from a crude verb but used so frequently it has lost most of its shock value in everyday speech among friends. Context determines whether it reads as mild or strong.
¿Te aceptaron en esa universidad sin examen? ¡No mames!They accepted you at that university without an exam? No way!de la chingada
awful / terrible / a complete messexpressionvulgarOne of the most versatile Mexican vulgar intensifiers. Attached to a noun or used as a predicate adjective it means the thing described is very bad. 'Chingada' is a cornerstone of Mexican profanity with dozens of fixed expressions; this form signals strong negative evaluation.
Ese partido estuvo de la chingada; perdimos por seis goles.That game was awful; we lost by six goals.
