No guey.

Chippy?? You must have been thinking of one of your ex-novias.

You really shouldn't swear in Spanish until you get a better handle on it.

>>>> Chippy?? You must have been thinking of one of your ex-novia(o)s. .

I figured that's why you chose that handle on the other forum

Maybe smarty misspelled 'no way' .... not followed by dude

sparks, I'll bet you don't even understand you.

If I did I wouldn't be part of the human race .... so I resist for fear of being isolated

There have been movies made about it

Evidently I'm in the middle of a two-guey conversation.

Two guey? Mas bien, guey tú.

You two can carry on without me...please.

Smartalex wrote:You two can carry on without me...please.

It's all good .... things start and stop on a dime

Well spelling nicely I would rather write "QUE ME VES WEY" By spelling it that way you understand me but will be less angry.

Hey and Sparks somethings wrong up here in your old stomping ground. The weather isn't that bad. :)

Maybe this will help clear things up. Then again...maybe not.

From the Word Reference forum:

1. In Mexican culture Wuey came from the Spanish word Buey, meaning Ox/Bullock. The way it was supposed to be used for was to call people stupid and/or that they had no balls. There is two ways to use it, one friendly and one offensive.

The definition is:
Güey.

1. m. Méx. Persona tonta. U. t. c. adj. (Meaning: adj. Stupid person)

It has become a colloquial use among teenagers, even adults.

- Hola güey, ¿qué haces? (Hey ‘you/Homie/Guy/Brother/Buddy’ what´s up?)


The Friendly way to use it is in such phrases like "Que Paso Wuey" which is kind of like "What's Up Dude"
The offensive way to use it is in such phrases like "Como Estas Tan Wuey" which is kind of like "You Really Are Stupid"

Remember that these two words HAVE DIFRENT MEANINGS and DO NOT sound the same.
Buey: Ox/Bullock (Informal and very disrespectful to call somebody that, Why? because your calling them an animal, and not only that but the definition for a Bullock (Which is English for the word Buey) is: a castrated domestic bull. Some people will even kick your ass over it)
Wuey: Dude, Homie, Guy, Brother, Buddy such things like that. (Formal, only to be used with people you know, other people might kick your ass)

Also, Wuey and especially Buey being used for friendly use or not, it is strongly advised not to be used on people you don't know and in front of elders because it's very disrespectful to do so. They'll probably just think your an ignorant uneducated person.

It is amazing how we can become more interested in the "origin/enunciation" of a word , than the content of the message,
Glad I am not smart enough to be concerned..

This whole thread is the BOLLIX for me. Maybe the word your lookin' for is WANKER.

Isn't it "bollocks?"

I never trust that weather .... waiting a few more months for a visit

¡Chin! is a cute little euphemism.

¡No chingues! cut it out, or lay off.

Una chingadera is a dirty trick.

Now if one wanted to get right down to brass tacks and start conjugating stuff, the verb joder is IMHO the perfect place to begin. Many uses, and much more blunt, also IMHO than chingar.

It is indeed.

So is "quema mucho el sol" a polite way of saying "que mamadas son".

¡Miercoles! could be used as a euphemism for mierda which is almost never used in Mexico, at least in polite company. Don't ask how I discovered that little factoid. This is FAR from the very worst and most embarrassing "mistake" I have made.
Pass this one on, i learned it in France many years ago. Mercredi instead of merde.

And chingada means.............

You are a treasure John.

@ solovino...it should say: yo soy chingon

Yo tampoco no, buey, Yo soy un ruco de nacolandia buey. Por eso no puedo hablar Esp. buey

PS Yes I am using a b in buey. Therefore there is less chance you take this word as an insult, buey!

gvprod wrote:@ solovino...it should say: yo soy chingon

You'll probably get an earful for this one. Solovino is fluent in Spanish and has lived in Mexico for 40 years. ROTFLMAO!

gvprod wrote:@ solovino...it should say: yo soy chingon

Soy chingón yo.

Or you could say:

yo soy chingón.

You could also say:

chingón soy yo.

Or even:

Soy yo, chingón.

Es lo mismo. Spanish is very flexible that way.
