Bandera de México

/Sounds like 'ah WEH-voh'/

Hell yes, absolutely, you better believe it — one of Mexico's most emphatic affirmations. A huevo leaves no doubt: it's a yes with full conviction and zero hesitation. Rough around the edges, but that's exactly the point. You don't say a huevo politely.

Example

"¿Vas a venir a la fiesta? — ¡A huevo! → "Are you coming to the party? — Hell yes!"

"¿Ganamos? — ¡A huevo que sí! → "Did we win? — You bet we did!"

Regional synonyms:
