Hello, I will try to help you as quick as I can translate those words.

Today I hope you enter where you already know.

[bmarquis124]

lol ok! i hope you can help me, because i really need to know them. especially the last one..

[poli]

dang -caramba
jeez -ay dios
no way jose- en absoluto
whatever - lo que sea
weird- estráfalario, insólito
nevermind-olvídalo
hodge podge-sambúmbia (only in some countries)
see you later alligator...after while crocodile- hasta luego/ luego
:D
------------------------------

[Tomisimo]

I agree with Poli.

Here are a few other ideas:

no way jose - para nada, jamás, estás loco, ni en sueños
weird - raro
hodge podge - una mezcla, una revoltura

[bmarquis124]

aww i was hoping my alligator sentence would work in spanish. :sad:
thanks you guys.

[Tomisimo]

This isn't really part of your question, but the thread's title is ¿comó se dice estas palabras? and it should be ¿Cómo se dicen estas palabras? :)

[bmarquis124]

oh i didn't even notice that but you're right. my brain was somewhere else lol. is there a way you can fix it?

[Tomisimo]

It's not really a big deal, and I only mentioned it to make sure you were aware of it. Title changed.

There are several ways to say these phrases, some more vulgar than others. You purposely used euphemisms in most cases, and I believe there are equivalents in Spanish, but the words and meanings can vary a great deal from country to country.

If you're willing to wait, we could probably come up with quite a number of choices.

Here are a couple of choices for the alligator one (although I think they lose their charm y sentido):
Hasta la vista, cocodrilo.
Hasta luego, cocodrilo.

Try some of these instead:
Adios carita de arroz
Adios granito de arroz
Adios corazón de arroz
Ay, te guacho, cucaracho
Me piro papiro
Me piro vampiro
Chao pescao

[bmarquis124]

ahh thank you. this is what i was looking for. i don't know exactly what me piro vampiro means, but that one's my favorite so far.

[Rusty]

pirarse = to make oneself scarce
me piro = I'm out of here

[CrOtALiTo]

I never have heard the word Me piro, Rusty, you know what does me piro mean?

Besides it sound very odd for me.

[Rusty]

I gave the translation of me piro just above your post, Crotalito.

[bmarquis124]

haha...figures that my favorite is one of the least common...

[Rusty]

haha...figures that my favorite is one of the least common...Just the opposite. It's the most common for that group. The similar ones are grouped together and arranged in order from least to most popular. I believe the most popular of them all was chao pescao.

[bmarquis124]

oh good, that's a relief, because i :love: that one. thanks everybody, for your examples.

[sosia]

me las piro vampiro :D :D :D
It's very informal, but still works. "Hasta luego cocodrilo" it's more for oldies......
Saludos :D
