chingar la madre

to annoy, to pester, to bug.

Usage

A highly vulgar Mexican family of expressions built on chingar, covering everything from destroying something (se fue a la chingada) to telling someone off in the crudest terms (mandar a alguien a la chingada) to a curse (que chingue su madre). Among the most taboo phrases in the language — never used in polite or professional settings.

Examples
  • El carro se fue a la chingada. — The car got totally wrecked.
  • Lo mandó a la chingada. — She told him to go to hell.
  • Que chingue su madre, ya no me importa. — To hell with him, I don't care anymore.
Common mistake

Underestimating just how vulgar this phrase is — it's not mild slang but genuinely shocking language, reserved for anger, close friends, or deliberate crudeness.
