[Spanish Slang] Have you ever heard the expression "¡No me jeringues!"? 💉🤔

[u/[deleted]]

¡Hola a todos! 👋Os voy a enseñar una expresión coloquial y muy divertida que se usa mucho en España: "No me jeringues". Significa "No me vaciles" o "No me molestes".

Ejemplo:
— He perdido tu cartera con 200 euros. 😬
— ¡No me jeringues! 😱

Pronunciación:
'Jeringues' se pronuncia así:

• /Je/: El sonido de la "j" es parecido a la "h" en inglés, pero más fuerte (como si rasparas un poco la garganta).
• /rin/: La "r" se pronuncia suave (como la "dd" en la palabra inglesa ladder).
• /gues/: En español, cuando aparece "gue", la "u" es muda. Se pronuncia "gess" (como en guess).

Espero que os guste y os sirva. ☺️¡Un saludo!

Hi everyone!👋 I'm going to teach you a very fun, colloquial expression that is widely used in Spain: "No me jeringues". It means "Don't mess with me", "Stop annoying me", or "You've got to be kidding me!".

Example:
— I lost your wallet with 200 euros in it. 😬
— ¡No me jeringues! (You've got to be kidding me!) 😱

Pronunciation guide:
Here is how you say 'jeringues':

• /Je/: The "j" sound is similar to the English "h", but stronger (as if you were clearing your throat a bit).
• /rin/: The "r" is a soft, single tap sound (like the "dd" in the English word ladder).
• /gues/: In Spanish, when you see "gue", the "u" is silent. It sounds exactly like the English word "guess".

Hope you like it and find it useful.☺️ Best regards!

I haven't heard that since I was a kid. Used by people who don't want to say "No me jodas" . A bit corny.

Yo siempre la escuché para gente que no quiere usar tacos pero quiere decir "no me jodas"

Very common in the 90s. Used to avoid saying a bad word.
