/Sounds like "AH" (as in "art") + "gwah" (as in "Guam") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "preen" (as in "pretty") + "SEH" (as in "set") + "sah" (as in "salsa")/

Meaning

A humorous nickname for beer in Mexico, part of the long tradition of inventing creative slang names for it: chela, cheve, fría, helada, and now agua de princesa. The joke is calling something as ordinary as a beer something as fancy as "princess water."

Examples

Tráete unas aguas de princesa para ver el partido.

Grab some beers for the game.

Ya me quiero echar una agua de princesa bien fría.

I am ready for a nice cold beer right now.

Meaning

A mix of different cheap alcohols all poured into the same container, the classic pre-party drink at Mexican high school and college gatherings. It tastes sweet, hits incredibly hard, and nobody can tell you exactly what went in. Think of it as the Mexican version of jungle juice.

Examples

Who brought the jungle juice? It's already got me spinning.

Don't drink that stuff, it has everything in it and you will end up in a bad state.
