Mexican Slang from La Oficina (The Mexican Office): Episodes 1 to 3
/Sounds like "pohr BWEHN PEH-doh"/
A Mexican expression meaning "as a favor," "out of friendship," or "for good vibes." It sounds crass literally (the word "pedo" here isn't a curse, it's slang for "deal" or "matter"), but it's actually a warm gesture. Doing something "por buen pedo" means you're doing it for free, as a courtesy, or because you genuinely like the person. It's how Mexicans acknowledge a friendship without getting sappy about it.
Example
"A ti te tengo abierto, por buen pedo. → I'm cutting you slack because you're cool with me."
"Esto va por buen pedo. → This one's on me, as a favor."

Jangueo
Hanging out with friends, going out to have fun or just spending time together. Borrowed from the English "hang out" and adapted into Puerto Rican Spanish, "jangueo" is central to the island's social culture, covering everything from a chill night at someone's house to a full blown party.
