Mexicans are masters of apodos! “Güey” or “Wey” is used like “dude” or “man”. “Chaparro/a” (Shorty) is common for short people. “Pelón/a” (Baldy) is used even for people with hair. “Güero/a” refers to light-skinned or blonde people. “Flaco/a” (Skinny) is used regardless of body type. “Chavo/a” means “kid” or denotes youthfulness.
