qué poca madre
that's messed up, what a low move, how shameless (expression of moral outrage)expressionvulgarA fixed Mexican expression of indignation at someone's shameless or disloyal behavior. Literally makes no sense from its component words. The intensity can range from annoyed to furious. Related to the broader Mexican use of 'madre' in figurative insults and exclamations.
Se fue sin pagar su parte de la cuenta. ¡Qué poca madre!He left without paying his share of the bill. What a low move!no mames
no way, you're kidding me, are you serious (expression of disbelief or strong reaction)expressionvulgarExtremely common in everyday Mexican speech. The literal words are anatomical but the expression functions as a general intensifier of surprise, disbelief, or irritation. Tone shifts entirely with context, from outraged to amused. Not used in formal situations.
¿Te vas a ir a vivir a otra ciudad sin avisarnos? ¡No mames!You're going to move to another city without telling us? Are you serious?a huevo
hell yeah, absolutely, you bet (strong affirmation)expressionvulgarVery common Mexican exclamation expressing enthusiastic agreement or confirmation. The literal words are anatomical but the phrase is so set that speakers use it freely in casual contexts among friends. Inappropriate in formal settings.
¿Vas a venir al partido el sábado? —¡A huevo que sí!Are you coming to the game on Saturday? —Hell yeah!
