Well, I'm 100% chilanga, and I don't care if somebody hates me or makes fun of me for that. If someone's narrow-minded or prejudiced, that's their problem, not mine.

you're right...i didn't think of that, instead i went off into left field!
ha ha ha
if that's the case then "k vuelta haces" would mean "what a turn you've made"
i guess we'd have to know the context in which the phrase is being used.

Pasto Jibaro...is like pasto pangola. by saying pasto jibaro he's like saying that they smoke grass. Pasto means marijuana but it can also mean grass....
But the true meaning behind the song is actually a tiraera. Jowell y Randy were beefin with some people in the game and they made a metaphoric song to throw at them. Lo mio es haze, tu fumas pasto jibaro is to say, My talent is real or we are the best and you're that fake sh*t or you don't have talent. It def sounds better in spanish....lol but that's the jsst of it.

We say "¡(ah) caray!" to express surprise or sometimes disgust... a bit like saying damn, bugger, sh*t, etc.
You can also have a quick look here:

And if something's "chido" then it's "cool", nice, good... like Dmoney already said. As far as I know only we mexicans use that word.

carai is like a short way of saying "carajo" for mexicans
chido is something cool/decent
chingon is a more vulgar way of saying it. It means something is the ....hit
que onda

que tranza can all be used to mean whats up

These posts brought a smile to my face.
You got that right.. I don;t know how you can drink that stuff...when I was younger this Puerto Rican lady let me try it and I hated it.. Chicarron is good though as well as arroz y habichuelas

Mhhh, I've heard that explanation before but I don't agree 100%. If one is saying only 'Ah caray' then yes, it's the same like saying 'Ah carajo'... but in other phrases they just can't be swapped (eg. 'Vete al carajo' '¿qué carajo(s) quieres?').

I know what you mean

caray no aprendes
