Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.
güey
dude / man / idiotexpressioncolloquialExtremely common filler and address term between male peers. Tone shifts with context: affectionate between close friends, dismissive or insulting toward someone outside the in-group. Originally derogatory, now largely neutralized in casual male speech. Often spelled 'wey'.
Oye, güey, ¿a qué hora nos vemos mañana?Hey, dude, what time are we meeting tomorrow?culpa
fault, blamenoun (feminine)No es culpa tuya que el proyecto haya fallado.It's not your fault that the project failed.pedo
problem / situation / issue (also: drunk)expressioncolloquialIn Mexican slang 'pedo' functions far beyond its literal meaning. '¿Cuál es tu pedo?' means 'what's your problem?'; 'el pedo es…' introduces a complication or key point. Separately, 'estar pedo' means to be drunk, which is also a usage that appears in the dialogue. Context always disambiguates.

cabrón
bastard / asshole / dude (context-dependent)expressionvulgarHighly versatile. Between close male friends it can be affectionate or emphatic with no hostile intent. Directed at an adversary it is genuinely insulting. The same word can express grudging respect, frustration, or outright aggression depending entirely on tone and relationship.
El cabrón se fue sin avisarle a nadie y así nos dejó con todo el trabajo.The bastard left without telling anyone and left us with all the work.no mames
no way / you're kidding me / damnexpressionvulgarOne of the most frequent Mexican exclamations. Expresses surprise, excitement, disbelief, or exasperation. Technically vulgar in origin but so widespread that many speakers use it without perceiving strong taboo weight. Softer substitute: 'no manches'.
¿No mames, se canceló el concierto al que llevábamos meses esperando ir?No way, the concert we'd been waiting months for got cancelled?
