Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "dahs" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

In Mexico, nonsense, stupidity, or anything said or done without any basis in reality. "No digas mamadas" is the direct, blunt way of telling someone to stop talking rubbish. Very common in casual Mexican speech.

Examples

Stop talking nonsense and say something real for once.

What he did was a massive screw-up, there is honestly no excuse for it.

Regional synonyms

The classroom blackboard or whiteboard in Colombia. The surface where teachers write and students copy, or pretend to copy while their minds are somewhere else entirely. Called "pizarra" in Spain and "pizarrón" in Mexico, but in Colombia it is always the tablero.
