Book Description

1881791106 978-1881791102 September 1, 1998 2nd
Mexican Slang will make you the master of 'modismos' and give you dominion over difficult-to-decipher words and cool expressions. You will never be at a loss for words again. It reveals the hip talk and occasionally lewd eloquence of the Spanish used commonly in the streets of modern Mexico and Latin America. this is the way they talk: the teens and sophisticates, drug dealers, 'cholos', outlaws and in-laws, pimps and street-walkers.

Answers such questions as * What does a Mexican say when he hammers his finger? * Do nice girls have 'huevos' for breakfast? * How do you say 'cool' in Spanish? * and more, plus Graffiti! Includes examples of slang from the wisdom of the masses as found on buildings, bridges, and fences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mexican Slang's The Best Spanish Slang Book You Can Get!, October 12, 1998
This review is from: Mexican Slang: A Guide (Paperback)
Mexican Slang leaves out nothing. It'll show you how to say all kinds of dirty and degrading stuff and explains the true meaning of a lot of words, so you'll know what you're really saying. Even though it's specialized in Mexican slang, this little book (2''x 3'') also teaches some universal Spanish slang and lists many ways to say one thing. If you want to find out how the Latinos really think and talk, this book's for you! The price is a true bargain, too! I don't have my Mexican Slang in front of me only because people won't stop stealing it out of my bookbag at school!! This book has more words than even the Mierda series books, and Mexican Slang does a better job of explaining the origins of words, plus it's smaller than those books. I gotta tell you that if I go somewhere and can only take one book without making my jeans feel tight, Mexican Slang's always the one, hands down! It's so innocent, yet funny and it always feels like someone is there teaching it to you; you'll never be left in the dark with questions. But, if you should ever have any questions about the book, email me anytime!

5.0 out of 5 stars a humble comment, July 3, 2002
By 
michael hurwitz (cathedral city, ca. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mexican Slang, plus Graffiti : A Guide (Paperback)
alright...so those texans were a little tipsy when they wrote
this thing. a great classic in western civilizaion. highly effective,informative,uplifting,empowering. you have to test it
out to take in the full benefit. the reviewer never got less than A in spanish in high school and college. but this book fires a booster rocket in the ability to communicate. you know all those words you really wanted to know but somehow could not find. here's the answer. i just wish there were more books like this one. it's as good or better than comedy central. want to make friends in mexico. take this libro along and you are loaded
for action. very easy to use. you just read it and show it to others in mexico as you try to speak with them.
