What is Mexican Slang?

[Camila]

I often hear different Mexican slang words in conversations, memes, and social media, but some of them are confusing or seem to change by region. Can anyone share common Mexican slang terms, their meanings, and how they’re typically used in everyday language?

Mexican slang refers to informal words and phrases used in Mexico that aren’t part of formal Spanish. It’s used in casual conversations, music, social media, and daily life.
It often includes:

• Unique expressions (like “órale” or “neta”)
• Playful or humorous words
• Regional terms specific to Mexico
