Should ad the word “Aguas!” Translates to English as waters. Commonly used to express be careful or watch out!

“Mande?” Comes not from “send” but from the other meaning of the same verb “to order or command” this is why it is used in a respectful way in lieu of “Que?”

Ox is buey, a totally different sounding word.
Even when wey and güey are phonetically identical in Spanish, W is considered a foreign letter in Spanish, which is why the spelling güey is the correct one.

Güey (her wey) could be translated roughly as asshole, is extremely offensive and should never be used on a stranger or someone who’s older. That said, is one of those offensive appellatives you can use with friends and people you’re familiar with. ¿Qué onda güey? (What’s up dude?) ¡No seas güey! (Don’t be an asshole!) Just in the same way African-American young males would use nigga to address each other or gay male friends would call each other faggots.

CHELA: I see it as a contraction of two very important words, Cerveza Helada, if you really want to party!

Chela: It might also be a Nick-name, Marcela (chela) or Marcelo (CHELO).
