In Mexico, an expression of disbelief or flat-out rejection of what someone is saying. It works like "no way," "yeah right," or "I do not buy it." The tone can range from playful to blunt depending on the situation.
“¿Que ganaste la lotería? ¡Chiles, no te creo!”
“You won the lottery? Yeah right, I do not believe you!”
“Chiles que vas a dejar el trabajo, si te encanta y llevas diez años ahí.”
“No way you are quitting your job, you love it and you have been there ten years.”
