Derived from a strong expletive root, but 'chingona/chingonas' used as a compliment is extremely common in informal Mexican speech. Calling a person chingona is high praise, skilled, bold, impressive.

Affectionate diminutive form of 'hija' (daughter), used by a parent or older figure to a younger woman. Can carry genuine warmth or a condescending tone depending on context and speaker.

In this reflexive use ('me clavo'), it means to become deeply absorbed or fixated on something. Broadly used in Mexican informal speech to describe intense focus or even unhealthy fixation.

Imperative of 'parar' (to stop) with 'ya' adding urgency or exasperation. Very natural in Mexican speech to shut down a line of conversation or an argument.

A set phrase referring to the concern for other people's opinions and social reputation. 'Vivir para el qué dirán' is a cultural concept, letting fear of gossip or judgment dictate behavior.
