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 February 06, 2009 02:33 PM

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

Tomisimo February 06, 2009 03:27 PM

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 February 06, 2009 03:42 PM

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 February 06, 2009 04:06 PM

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 February 06, 2009 05:42 PM

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 February 06, 2009 09:38 PM

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

CrOtALiTo February 06, 2009 11:54 PM

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

Besides it sound very odd for me.

Rusty February 07, 2009 08:27 AM

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

bmarquis124 February 07, 2009 11:03 AM

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 February 07, 2009 12:29 PM

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

sosia February 09, 2009 12:42 AM

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

No way José - ¡De ninguna manera!
Whatever - ¡Lo que sea!
Weird - Raro
Never mind - No importa
Wow! - ¡Wow!
Hodge podge - Lío
See you.... - ¡Hasta luego!
