You might spend a month here without hearing it. WEY isn’t as famous as ORALE or versatile as CHINGAR, and may not be as common as CHIDO.
Que significa bato en mexico how to#
WEY / GUEY – I’m not sure how to spell it. (Click the books for info.) For everyday uses, check out the Chinganario.ġ.
This is a truly Mexican word, and to learn the origins and deep thoughts behind it read The Labyrinth of Solitude by Octavio Paz. In general, you can use it to express the foulest, rudest, and most aggressive sentiments. Or, if there is a lot of something, traffic for example, you can say HAY UN CHINGO DE TRAFICO. CHINGAR (vulgar) – Much like English’s beloved f-word, CHINGAR has a wide range of uses – from describing something positively – CHINGON – to negatively – DE LA CHINGADA. ¡NO MANCHES! – The literal meaning is ridiculous, but this is used like “no way!” or “come on!” Look out for ¡NO MAMES!, the vulgar equivalent.Ģ. On a similar note, PADRE (father) means good or cool while MADRE (mother) usually means bad. If you don’t hear this word 100 times a day, you aren’t off the tourist track yet. You can make great phrases with it too, such as the aforementioned ¿QUE PEDO?Ĥ. “I’m fucking drunk.” A drunken party or a binge is UNA PEDA. CUAL ES TU PINCHE PEDO means “what’s your fucking problem?”Īs an adjective it means drunk. NO HAY PEDO is a substitute for NO HAY BRONCA, no problem. As a noun it usually means problem, or more literally, fart. PEDO (vulgar) – This word is as versatile as the tortilla, but, unlike the tortilla, rarely appropriate. ¿QUE ONDA? – Along with ¿QUE PASO?, ¿QUE TAL?, and the vulgar ¿QUE PEDO?, this is yet another way to say “what’s up?” ONDA literally means waves or, in this case, vibes.ĥ. ¡ORALE! – It can be used for encouragement, like “go for it!” or “right on!” Or it can be used like “let’s do it!” or “let’s go!” Look out for its second cousin HIJOLE, which is like “wow” or “my goodness!”Ħ. CHELA / CAGUAMA – CHELA means beer, and CAGUAMAS are the big returnable 40 ounce bottles, undoubtedly your best value on the street.ħ. Another variation is TENGO HUEVA, which means you are feeling lazy.Ĩ. ¡A HUEVO! means “of course!” – a very useful expression. When my Spanish was still at a pretty basic level I had a student who said HUEVOS DIAS to me – not a very nice thing to say. ¡A HUEVO! (vulgar) – Do you know what huevo means? It means egg, but HUEVOS are balls. You may have noticed that NO HAY BRONCA is the name of my blog. WARNING: if you’re a FRESA (stuck-up person) you might be offended by some vulgar language, but if you’re a NACO (low-class, person with bad taste), you’ll overuse most of the words on this list.ġ0. Please disagree with me, correct my spelling, or remind me of what I’ve left out. The order of this list has no meaning other than the words and phrases I think are the most interesting, amusing, common, or unique.
