To have no shame, no limits, and zero conscience about doing things anyone else would be embarrassed about. It can also mean something is mind-blowingly amazing, peak Mexican ambiguity.
“That guy has no madre, he screwed us over with the money without any remorse.”
“That movie doesn't have madre, it's incredible.”
/Sounds like the English word "no" (same pronunciation) + "teh" (as in "ten") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "dreh" (as in "dress")/
A Mexican hyperbolic compliment meaning something is so incredible it's beyond comparison. Literally "has no mother," it's used to say something is absolutely mind-blowing, the best of the best. Context makes all the difference since the same phrase can be an insult in other situations.
“That concert was unreal, best thing I've ever seen in my life.”
“Your grandma's cooking is out of this world, she's amazing.”
