no way / are you serious / unbelievableexpressionvulgarOne of the most frequently heard strong expressions in Mexican Spanish. Depending on tone, it expresses shock, disbelief, or delight. Literally nonsensical; the vulgar root is softened in practice by sheer frequency but remains inappropriate in formal contexts.
¡No mames, ganamos el campeonato!No way, we won the championship!
