chingada
damn / hell / fucking (expletive intensifier)expressionvulgarAppears in numerous fixed phrases and compound expressions. 'A la chingada' means something is ruined or going to hell.

Used across genders in moments of high emotion.
Se fue todo a la chingada cuando cancelaron el contrato.Everything went to hell when they cancelled the contract.no mames
no way / are you serious / damnexpressionvulgarOne of the most versatile exclamations in Mexican Spanish, used to express disbelief, shock, frustration, or exasperation. Softened forms 'no manches' or 'no manchas' exist for less crude contexts, but 'no mames' itself is very common in raw emotional speech between close peers.
¿No mames, ya se acabó toda la pizza?No way, all the pizza is gone already?pedo

'Un pedo' means a problem or mess. Also appears in phrases like 'estar pedo' (to be drunk) and '¿qué pedo?' (what's going on?). Extremely common in casual and heated speech.
No quiero entrar en ese pedo contigo ahora mismo.I don't want to get into that mess with you right now.cabrón

Ese cabrón me debe dinero desde hace meses y nunca contesta.That bastard has owed me money for months and never picks up.
