no mames
no way / are you kidding me / holy crapexpressionvulgarOne of the most versatile expressions in everyday speech. Signals disbelief, surprise, excitement, or irritation depending on tone. Considered vulgar but is so widespread that many speakers use it without registering its literal roots. Often intensified with 'no mames, güey'.
No mames, ¿de verdad te ganaste el concurso? ¡Cuéntame todo!No way, did you seriously win the contest? Tell me everything!pedos
problems / trouble / dramaexpressionvulgarLiterally 'farts', but used metaphorically to mean problems, conflict, or unwanted drama. 'No quiero pedos' means 'I don't want any trouble'. Can also describe a tense atmosphere ('hubo pedos' = things got heated). Entirely normal in informal speech despite the literal meaning.
No quiero pedos con la administración, así que mejor me callo.I don't want any trouble with management, so I'd rather keep quiet.
