Güey. This is the most ubiquitous word in everyday Mexican conversation. If you're going to learn just one piece of Mexican Spanish slang, let güey be the one. Most closely translated to 'mate', you'll mainly see it written as wey (which is incidentally how it's pronounced) rather than güey.
Go anywhere in Mexico City and you can hear someone calling someone else “guey,” which means “ox” or “slow-witted.” The word, also spelled buey, once was an insult, but it has morphed over years of popular use to become Mexico's version of “dude” or “bro.”

Papi or Papacito and Mami or Mamacita
Although these words come from papá (dad) and mamá (mom), they are variants that are often used to nickname girlfriends and boyfriends.

Papi is a colloquial term for “daddy” in Spanish, but in many Spanish-speaking cultures, particularly in the Caribbean, it is often used as a general term of affection for any man, whether it's a relative, friend, or lover. The English “baby,” used as a term of endearment for spouses and children alike, is similar.

Gangsta means gangster or tough, and it originated in LA. In a lyric: “Gangsta, gangsta! That's what they're yellin.
Who uses Papi? In Latinx culture, the feminine mami is used just as regularly as papi, though it's less common to see it used by English speakers, and mami can come across as offensive to women if used incorrectly; it can be perceived as a catcall.
