I think you definitely missed on 1. Chingon 2. Ahuevo 3. No mames!

[@antoniofoe1366]

Russians React what do they mean??

[@MishaElRusito]

Chingon is like super cool I think. A huevo means "Fuck yeah!" and no mames means "No WAY!!!"

[@idgon09]

I think no manches and no mames are nearly interchangeable

[@hellknightf1]

Oh shit is Russians React I watch you guys

[@elcanalhotdeyoutube668]

@@MishaElRusito i am Mexican, no mames can be when somebody tells you something amazing and you are surprised, so you say no mames or neta. But your explucation it's well. I'm sorry my english is not perfect

[@sergiofigueroa9311]

Hey David. Might be three years late, but I could perhaps help you with a bit of etymology/semantics: Que onda: come from the 60s. Literally means "what wave," as in radio wave. You're being asked in what frequency are you in? High or low? Or, are you doing good or bad? How are you? Aguas: means "water!" It means to be careful. When it rains hard, what do you do? You cover your head and walk carefully. When someone says "aguas," they're saying "watch out!" Simon: It's a play on "si." Because the name Simon starts with "si," the name became synonymous with "yes." Chela: No idea! Some say it derives from the Mayan word that means blonde, as in the color of the beer Esta ca(ny)on: It's a play on the phrase "esta cabron." It's used to not say "cabron," which is a cuss word. It has a cornucopia of meanings, from "it's rough," "it's bad," "it's good," it's a pedestrian phrase. Feria: It means fair, as in a town fair. In the olden days, people used to go to the fairs to bet on horse races, cock fights, gamble; things that involved making money. So, feria became synonymous with money. Neta: Spanish for "net." When one regards the "net" of something (not the mean, or the difference), one gets to the core of such thing. So, "neta" means truth. "Es la neta," means "it's the truth." Wey: variance of "buey," an ox. It became a way for people to call themselves, such a friend, guy, homey, dude, etc. When one says it, we imply that we are saying "dumb ox," because oxen are not that smart. But, people disregard the insult. Orale: It's used all over Mexico, but it's actually a word derived from Chicano slang. It's a distortion of "all right!" No Manches: a play on "no mames." It literally means "don't suck." But, it has multiple meanings, depending on the context. Andale: Verb form of "andar," to move forward. Frech say, "allez allez." Sale: it's a play on the word "si." Just another way of saying yes. Chavo: short for "chavalo," a word used teenagers from indigenous roots. Morro: a morro is a rock outcrop out in the sea. It derives from Spanish naval slang during the colonial period, and used to say little kid. Vieja: Spanish for "old," as in my old lady, or that old hag, which are used in English. Chilango: Chile con cara de chango :P Tocayo: people with the same name. It's has ancient Roman roots Jeta: word for lips. But, "jetas," is the word used for animal lips. In Spanish, the same "body parts" between humans and animals have different names to distinguish between them. but, people use them interchangeably as a form of slang. Jeta=labios. Patas=pies. Buche=chest. Cola = gluteos. Pelos=cabello. Cruda: Spanish word for "raw." So, when you're hung over, you're like in a raw state. Rola: slang for song. Its roots come the Victrola, the first widely available music playback systems.

Another word that we mexicans use a lot and is becoming now more popular among the other Latin American countries is "ahorita", from the word "ahora" (now), ahorita can mean now, right now, in 5 minutes ago (or in the future), in an hour or so. Example: → _Ahorita estoy comiendo._ → Right now i'm eating. → _Ahorita vamos a ir la tienda._ → We are going to the store/supermarket (in about 5 minutes to 1 or 2 hours from now). 👍

[@SkankHunt-vb2qc]

me and my friends use it kinda like a command. To take the place of, "hurry up" or "precisley at that second" when we need to go to some place.

[@christophersalinas2722]

I always used Ahorita

[@Grokford]

Lo usaba a veces cuando vivía con mi tía español, ella insistió que la palabra era ahora y fin. Pero también es verdad que los españoles tienen estándares diferentes.

[@tomaten1499]

It can mean never also, some of my non Mexican friends hate that word… Bwahahahaha!!!

[@joshuapatton7437]

This really helps. Thanks guys. I have many Mexicans at my school and they use these words

You used "no manches" wrong in the video, it's like saying "you're kidding" not as an adjective! otherwise your pronunciation is great!

[@filemonlara5625]

usually we say no names! to somebody that is doing something wrong or if we think he is lying. making things up.

[@nissankanavaratne123]

hola amigo. i came across this video very recently. so manches means you're kidding me correcto ?

[@christophersalinas2722]

Nissanka Navaratne No manches*

[@EvanFromJersey]

Haha I work in a Spanish kitchen and they use these words and phrases. Awesome

[@daisylovesnoodles2166]

Evan Hubbard you should use "Hay que ponernos las pilas" it literally means let's put in the batteries but means let's get going.It's a hype sentence most of the time.

[@ivanrelota3169]

[@MauP21]

Chavo can be used between after baby and till 20 or something like that

[@MauP21]

And "morro" can be used from child till adult (before ancian)

[@tomaten1499]

After baby? A little kid or toddler is not a chavo, a kid, pre-teen , a teenager or young adult can be called «chavo».

It's funny how "ahorita" literally means "right now " and "luego, luego" means "not now, then" and we mexicans use them the opossite way. If I say "ahorita" it's implicit that it might actually never happen but if I say "luego, luego" I'm saying "let's do do it right away".

You should do Chicano slang cuz I use a lot of that 😂

[@georgefurman4371]

Chicano Spanish deserves a special platform and attention. Great contributor to both English and Spanish evolution. Many words are now official in the dictionary official and not of both languages. It is culture on its own right. Not just language. Traditions and way of life in general .

[@georgefurman4371]

In fact I was thinking it will be a great platform to think about. And to talk about. Chicano culture and trends new and old.

Where I grew up Chilango in the slang way means more or less a gruffy person. You don't just call any Mexican person a Chilango.. It was more of a reference growing up to tease the people who where younger then yourself. At least that's how I remember it growing up. Tu..eres...una...chilango!😄 And what about Pinchi..whey Or Chinga...tu madre.. Shilanga... Yahaca... With a slang uts Yahakitha... Cavron...or maybe it's spelt Cabron... My favorite is Bago...or maybe uts vago... Sorry never been good at spelling in Spanish onky learned to speak some from friends and family but never to write it.
