Love That Kills

Used to tell someone to get out of one's life permanently. 'Fregada' is a Mexican euphemistic intensifier derived from 'fregar'. Softer than 'a la chingada' but still strong and dismissive.

'Madres' is used in Mexican Spanish as an intensifier for negation. 'Ni madres' means a complete zero or total refusal, much stronger than 'nada'. Considered vulgar but very common in informal speech.

From 'plomo' (lead/bullet). A colloquial Mexican term for being shot. Used in everyday informal speech when discussing violence, not clinical or formal.

From the verb 'chupar' used colloquially in Mexico to mean drinking alcohol. 'Chupe' refers to a night of drinking or to alcohol itself. Casual and informal.

Mexican slang for the police. Used especially in contexts where the police are viewed with suspicion or as an adversary. Not used in formal speech.

Mexican expression meaning something done without much thought or planning, spontaneously. 'Volado' literally refers to a coin toss, so 'de volado' implies acting on chance or whim.

A fixed phrase in Mexican Spanish used to say two people are equally flawed or equally suited in a negative way. The meaning cannot be derived from the individual words.

Mexican fixed expression meaning to do something publicly embarrassing. The bear reference is non-compositional and cannot be guessed from the words alone.

From Nahuatl 'coatl'. In Mexico 'cuate' primarily means a close male friend or buddy. The twin meaning exists but is secondary in everyday use. Warm and informal.
