In English we have the word fuck, also known as the F word. In México you have chingar. But if you've been following my blog, you already know that.
We use the word fuck in a variety of ways in everyday speech, so let's see how we would say some of those things in Spanish.
¿Qué chingados quieres?
What the fuck do you want?
¿Que chingados es Twitter?
What the fuck is Twitter?
¿Quién chingados eres?
Who the fuck are you?
¿Con quién chingados estabas?
Who the fuck were you with?
¿Que la chinga?
What the fuck?
¿Qué chingados?
What the fuck?
¿Qué chingados dijiste?
What the fuck did you say?
No sé que chingados hacer
I don't know what the fuck to do
Hazme el chingado favor
Do me the fucking favor
Ay, que la chingada
Ah, fucking A
¿qué chingados pasó?
What the fuck happened
A la chingada con él
Fuck him
Well, that's just a few expressions to get you started. Just as there are a million and one ways to use the F word, there are a million and one ways to use chingar. And little by little, we'll learn how to learn how to curse like a true Mexican.
¡Nos vemos!

¡A huevo güey!
At first glance, you might be tempted to think this expression has something to do with eggs, because huevo does mean "egg". But that's not the case here.
Like most slang, you can't translate this literally, so let's take a closer look at things.
"A huevo güey" in this context, is an affirmation of agreement. Of course it's a very vulgar way of expressing affirmation, but let's face it, sometimes a simple "sí" just doesn't convey our true level of excitement. Not to mention it's fun to spice things up once in awhile. Here's an example:
¿Vas a ir la fiesta esta noche?
¡A huevo güey!
Are you going to the party tonight?
Hell yeah!
Pretty simple eh?
Sometimes you might want to mix things up a little with your friends without being so vulgar, so instead of saying "sí" all the time, you can use "simon" or "sip", both of which are very informal and mean "yeah" or "yep" in English.
¡Ya! That's it for today.
¡Hasta la próxima!
