No manches
A Mexican expression of surprise, disbelief, or shock at something unexpected. It is the family friendly, cleaned up version of "no mames" that you can safely say in front of your grandma, your boss, or in public without getting scolded. Think of it as the PG rated "no way!" of Mexican Spanish.
