Bandera de Cuba

/ma-ME/

Something very easy, a total cakewalk — or something excellent, depending on context in Cuba. 'Mamey' is the sweet tropical fruit, and calling something 'mamey' means it's as easy and sweet as eating one. Cubans have a gift for making hard things sound delicious.

Example

"That exam was mamey — I finished in ten minutes."

"The concert was mamey — best night of the year."

Regional synonyms:

Divertirse o tener un buen momento en México. Cuando todo sale bien y la experiencia es tan buena que quieres repetirla al día siguiente porque la vida se siente perfecta en ese instante.
