/Sounds like the English word "no" (same pronunciation) + "mah" (as in "mark") + "MAHR" (as in "mark")/
A Mexican and Chicano expression meaning "don't exaggerate," "don't lie," or "don't go too far." You use it when someone says something hard to believe, asks for too much, or pushes a joke past the limit. Not a heavy insult in Mexico: it's normal pushback between close friends.
“He's asking a thousand bucks for that junker, come on.”
“That hour is completely unreasonable, I'm not showing up half asleep.”
