cabrón
bastard, asshole (also used affectionately between close friends)expressionvulgarExtremely high-frequency in this dialogue. Its force shifts entirely with tone and relationship: between friends it softens to something like 'man' or 'dude', while in conflict it is a direct insult. Context and intonation are the only guides. Very common in Mexican Spanish as spoken in the dialogue.
Oye, cabrón, ¿cuándo me vas a devolver la plata que te presté?Hey, man, when are you going to pay back the money you borrowed from me?no mames
no way, you're kidding, what the hellexpressionvulgarLiterally non-compositional: a learner cannot guess the meaning from 'mamar' in this context. Used to express disbelief, exasperation, or surprise. Very common in Mexican informal speech across a range of intensities.
No mames, ¿en serio te comiste toda la pizza tú solo?No way, did you seriously eat the whole pizza by yourself?a huevo
hell yes, absolutely, damn rightexpressionvulgarUsed to express strong affirmation or enthusiasm. The literal words give no clue to the meaning. Common in Mexican colloquial speech as a forceful 'yes' or 'of course'.
¿Vas a venir a la fiesta el sábado? — ¡A huevo que sí!Are you coming to the party on Saturday? — Hell yes I am!
