güey
n.— «It comes with the service, so everyone in the city walks around with their phones blabbering away on the radio while every innocent bystander must be subjected to hearing, “que paso anoche guey.” Then *beep* “pos nada guey, fui a Chamucos con Kike y Pepe.” *beep* “Bueno pues, soy a la puente. Hablame manana, vas a jugar el futbol?” *beep* “Si guey, quiere ir?” *beep* “Pos hablame cabron.” *beep*» —by Mirasol Flowerpop (Tucson, Ariz.) June 18, 2003. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
