- Guay. Spaniards use this word every 5 seconds. Use it to describe how great something is. You could hear extended versions like “guay del Paraguay” (cool from Paraguay) or “tope guay” (very cool) in movies from the 80s and 90s.
- Vale. This is the informal version of “de acuerdo” (all right/ok), and it’s extremely common Spanish slang. This is probably the first Spanish slang expression you’ll hear repeatedly and you can use it in many situations.
- Qué fuerte. This is one of the top 3 Spanish slang words, along with “guay” and “vale.” Use it when something happens that you find shocking, in a good or bad way.
- Chulo. Locals use this in a positive way to express how cool objects and places are. “Este centro comercial es muy chulo.” This shopping mall is very cool.
- Güey. Güey or wey is a Mexican slang word for friend. However, it can also be used to say that someone is dumb, to express surprise or annoyance. So, depending on the context, it means ‘dude’, ‘mate’, ‘pal’, ‘buddy’, ‘guy’, ‘silly’, ‘dumb’ or ‘damn’.
- Pedo. Pedo is one of the most robust Mexican slang words. Its meaning depends on the phrase you use: Echarse un pedo – To fart. Estar pedo – To be drunk. Ponerse pedo – To get drunk.
- Chido. Chido is the Mexican slang word for ‘cool’ and ‘awesome’. Mexican speakers use this word to describe things and people or as an informal way to agree with something or say ‘thank you’.
- Neta. Neta or la neta is an informal synonym of ‘truth’ or ‘to be honest’. However, we can also use it as an expression to show surprise when someone is saying something to us.
