/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
A silly thing, something dumb or of zero importance. In Argentina and Uruguay, when someone says "dejá de decir pavadas" they are telling you to stop spouting nonsense. A pavada is the lowest tier of any argument, barely worth acknowledging.
“Don't worry about that silly thing, it's not worth it.”
“Stop saying nonsense and explain the problem properly.”
/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
Nonsense, something trivial or silly that does not deserve serious attention. In Argentina and Uruguay, a pavada is the kind of thing not worth arguing about or getting upset over. Telling someone "no digas pavadas" means they are talking rubbish or making a big deal out of absolutely nothing.
“No digas pavadas, eso no tiene ningún sentido práctico.”
“Stop talking nonsense, that makes zero practical sense.”
“Se enojó por una pavada que no valía la pena discutir.”
“He got upset over something completely trivial that wasn't worth arguing about.”

Minga
No way, absolutely not, forget it. In Chile, "minga" is the most emphatic shutdown possible, a flat refusal with zero room for negotiation. When someone says minga, the conversation is over and no counter-offer is coming.
