battle of the bandsnoun phraseLa batalla de bandas del conservatorio atrae a músicos de toda la ciudad.The conservatory's battle of the bands draws musicians from all over the city.güey
dude / man / broexpressioncolloquialUbiquitous address term and filler between friends of any gender in Mexican Spanish. Originally an insult derived from 'buey' (castrated ox), but it has been completely neutralized in casual peer speech. Can open, close, or punctuate nearly any sentence. Signals in-group familiarity; using it with someone you don't know well can feel presumptuous.
Güey, no te puedo creer que te comiste toda la pizza sin avisarme.Dude, I can't believe you ate the whole pizza without telling me.el simulacro
emergency drillnounEl colegio organiza un simulacro de sismo cada octubre.The school organizes an earthquake drill every October.papi
buddy / bro / man (term of address)expressioncolloquialUsed between male friends as an affectionate, energetic address term, completely detached from its literal meaning. Carries warmth and solidarity. Common among young speakers; signals closeness and a slightly playful, street-inflected tone.
¿Todo bien, papi? Te noto muy callado desde esta mañana.Everything good, man? You've seemed really quiet since this morning.la Logia
the Lodge (secret society)nounNadie sabe quiénes pertenecen a esa logia secreta.Nobody knows who belongs to that secret lodge.el ensayo

evidence / proofnounNo encontraron evidencia de que él estuviera involucrado.They found no evidence that he was involved.no hay pedo
no problem / no worries / it's coolexpressioncolloquialCasual reassurance that something is fine or that there is no issue. 'Pedo' in Mexican slang refers broadly to a problem, situation, or mess, so the phrase literally negates any such trouble. Warm and deflating in tone, often used to ease tension or wave off an apology.
Llegaste tarde, pero no hay pedo, todavía alcanzamos la función.You're late, but no worries, we still have time to make the showing.el fraude
fraud / fakenounEse músico es un fraude: nunca estudió lo que dice.That musician is a fraud, he never studied what he claims.plantado/a (dejar plantado)

no mames
no way / are you serious / you've got to be kiddingexpressionvulgarExtremely common Mexican exclamation expressing disbelief, frustration, or amazement. Literally crude but so embedded in everyday speech that its shock value is almost gone among peers. Can convey anything from genuine astonishment to mild annoyance. Inappropriate in formal or professional settings.
No mames, llegaste dos horas tarde y ni te disculpas.Are you serious? You showed up two hours late and you don't even apologize.
