Meaning

A playful Mexican goodbye that twists "ahí nos vemos" (see you later) into "ahí nos vidrios" because "vemos" and "vidrios" (glass/windows) sound similar. It is street humor at its finest: wordplay that costs nothing but always earns a smile. Pure barrio energy.

See you around, I'm running late for the bus!

See you in the glasses, and if not, in the plastics, bro!

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "EE" (as in "eagle") + "NOHS" (as in "note") + "BEE" (as in "bee") + "dryohs"/

Meaning

A farewell with a built in joke. Instead of saying "ahí nos vemos" (see you later), you swap in "vidrios" (glass) because it sounds similar. It is one of those phrases that still gets a smile even after hearing it a thousand times. Classic Mexican wordplay humor.

Examples

See you in the glasses, I gotta go to work.

Alright folks, see you in the glasses, it was a good party.
