Mexican slang is rich and varied, often changing by region. Common expressions include: “Güey” or “Wey” (dude, mate), “Órale” (OK, wow), “Chido” (cool), “Padre” (cool, awesome), “No manches” (no way!), “¿Qué onda?” (What’s up?). “Neta” means truth or really. “Chingar” and its derivatives are common but can be offensive. Remember, Mexican slang can be complex and contextual, so use it carefully and learn from locals.
