All countries around the world have their own slangs or words that only people who live there use, in this case I am from Mexico and I would like to share some of the Mexican words we use a lot, maybe you are going to hear some of them if you ever come here.

CHAFA: Something of bad quality or that is an imitation of a famous brand.

Example: Esta playera es chafa, dice Naik en lugar de Nike // This T-shirt is an imitation, it says Naik instead of Nike........Este vestido es chafa te das cuenta por la tela. // This dress is of bad quality you can tell cause of the cloth

GRINGO: A person from the United States who is white.

Example: El novio de mi amiga es gringo y tiene granes ojos azules y vive en Los Angeles // My friend's boyfriend is American with big blue eyes and he lives in Los Angeles.

NACO: A person who is vulgar, ignorant, not fashion or goes against the bourgeois traditions.

Example: El es muy naco o sea usa sandalias con calcetines. // He is not fashionable I mean he wears sandals with socks.

ORALE: Acceptance of a fact. This is one of the most popular words and we use A LOT when we agree with something, when we are surprised by something, when we demand to have something done at the moment and many more.

Example: Orale te ganaste la loteria! // Wow you won the lotery! (surprise)...Orale apurate llegaremos tarde! // Hey hurry up we're gonna be late! (Demanding)...Orale me parece buena idea hay que hacerlo // Ok I think is a good idea let's do it (Agreement)

CHIDO/CHILO: When something is pretty, amazing, beautiful, cool, etc.. Chido is more used in the south of Mexico and Chilo in the North but it means the same thing.

Example: Me gusta tu nuevo carro esta muy chido/chilo // I love your new car is so cool

NETA: The truth. It can be seen as a surprise or question or affirmation, It's just a truth.

Example: La neta no me gustas lo siento! // The truth is I don't like you I'm sorry.....Estoy embarazada! Amiga: Neta??? // I am pregnant! Friend: Really???....Dime la neta, estas saliendo con mi ex? // Tell me the truth Are you dating my ex?

CHALE: When you show concern, disappointment or anger. It could be the equivalent of "Goddamned" or F**K

Example: Chale! Choque el carro de mi mama, me va a matar! // Goddamned! I crashed my mom's car She's gonna kill me!...Chale me robaron el carro del estacionamiento // Fu**! My car was stolen from the parking....Chale te dije que tuvieras cuidado con el espejo, ya lo quebraste! // God! I told you to be careful with the mirror now is broken!

WEY: Oh god here we are with the most amazing and famous word in Mexico! The best for the last hahaha. Well this simple and short word means just: dude, man, friend, boy, guy in general any person could be a WEY but it is kinda vulgar so it is exclusive for people you already know, also is commonly used to say "silly" too.

Example: Este wey me vendió una bicicleta muy buena // This guy sold me a nice bike ........Tu hermano esta bien wey no sabe nada // Your brother is so silly he doesn't know anything........Oye wey pasame una cerveza // Hey bro pass me a beer

Have you heard one of these? Do you know more? Hope you liked it!
