e/Guey

Information
has gloss	eng: Güey (usually misspelled as guey; pronounced like the English word way) is an adjective in Mexican Spanish which is commonly used to refer to any person without using his name and applies equally to males and females (though it is more often applied to males). It is used in Mexican Spanish in roughly the same way "dude" is used in modern American English. It is derived from the term buey, which refers to a castrated bull...(an Ox), used for meat, sacrifice, and/or labor (e.g. pulling plows and carts). Over time, the initial /b/ underwent a consonant mutation to a /g/, resulting in the modern güey. In Mexico this same word is used like an insult ( can be a negative term like "fool" ), although due to its extremely high frequency of use in a multitude of contexts, it has lost much of its offensive character, becoming a colloquialism.
