those internet translators crack me up...hmmm...I wonder how THAT would translate to Spanish. My point is that learning spanish is best done on the
streets or beaches hangin with amigos who will teach you the real way actual people where you live talk to each other....which is how I learned. So go
play cards, or pool or go shopping or something with a mexican friend..you will learn way more than in a classroom or on your computer.
"No hay pedo" sort of means "no sweat man" funny that both are odourous!!! jajaja
My best student learned English watching cartoons as a kid! which also appears to work well.

Shari, can "no hay pedo" be used always, meaning, can one use it in a formal situation? Or is it strictly used with compas?
And another one I wonder about, which teens use all the time: NO MAMES. To me that just seems so rude ????? Or am I just misreading it?

Baja Blanca, i dont advice to use the first phat phrase, neither with a mexican cop nor a judge, nor somebody with public power in Mexico. Haha.
Strictly with amigos like Shari and me. Lol. The second phrase, please use it, STRICTLY with ur husband if the relation allows it. Or with ur bestest
friend. Lol

Interesting comment, probably deserving of it's own thread. It might be interesting to get a Mexican view of the level of respect/fear they have for
officials, as well as the limits of free speech in Mexico.....that is, if said Mexican [whoever that may be] has the nerve to talk freely on a public
forum.

When I first came to Mexico with my dad, who had only US high school Spanish, he used to warn me never to say "por nada", as that term meant something
was worthless. I never knew much Spanish before I moved here several years ago. I hear "por nada" used interchangeably with "de nada", but clearly
not as often. Maybe times have changed, maybe it was always OK.

this has been the challenge for me learning & speaking spanish...one listens and learns how our amigos talk to each other and the phrases they use
all the time...so naturally we start using them to...but it is one of those things where many times is OK between "them" to use certain words or
phrases but it is not appropriate for us to use them...not fair in my opinion but that's how it is...no mames is one of those...no hay pedo is only Ok
in a joking context with people who know you...definately not formally or with elders. It always got a laugh with my university students but not
appropriate with other "adults". Que pedo is sort of like a surfer's Que Onda and again only with your compas. It's hard to know which ones or Ok and
which ones arent..Juan is pretty quick to let me know thankfully.

Slang......according to the Urban Dictionary
slang is the continual and ever-changing use and definition of words in informal conversation, often using references as a means of comparison or
showing likeness. some modern slang has endured over the decades since its inception (i.e. cool) and some will only last a few years before being
rendered obsolete or outdated (i.e. bling bling). slang can be born from any number of situations or ideas (the word slang itself has come to
represent selling, especially of illegal drugs), and can be blunt or riddled with metaphor, and often quite profound.
the use of slang is frequently ridiculed by culturally-ignorant people who feel it is the product of insufficient education and believe it to be
counter-evolutionary; of course, they couldn't be farther from the truth. human language has been in a state of constant reinvention for centuries,
and slang has been used and created by poets and writers of all sorts (William Shakespeare has been credited for the upbringing of at least a couple
of words). it is the right and responsibility of the modern human to keep re-evaluating language, to give dead words innovative contemporary meanings
or to simply invent new ones, in order to be more appealing and representative to the speaker/listener (which was essentially the basis behind
language anyway, to understandably communicate thoughts or ideas verbally).

Language, Bajablanca, language. Not dialect. Dialect is a demeaning form to call a language. Fyi.
