¿'Güey' y 'Órale' son solo para amigos cercanos?
I'm still getting the hang of Mexican Spanish slang. I hear 'güey' and 'órale' everywhere. Can I use them with anyone? Or is it just for friends? I don't want to sound rude lol.

¡Hola! Qué buena pregunta. Mira, "güey" sí úsalo más con gente joven o amigos. "Órale" es más general, lo puedes usar casi con cualquiera. Te entienden bien con "órale".
Yeah, that makes sense! So "güey" is like your circle and "órale" is for basically everyone else. Good to know. I'll stick to "órale" then for now!
Exactly! "Órale" really is super versatile. It's definitely my go-to for sounding friendly without being too familiar. Glad you found it helpful!
Jaja, justo eso. "Güey" es muy de cuates. Pero sí, "órale" es el comodín perfecto. Me encanta lo útil que es.
Totally! "Órale" just hits different. It's like magic for getting your point across. Glad we all agree on that gem. Jaja.
Haha, that's a good one. "Güey" definitely feels like buddy-buddy language. "Órale" is pretty safe though. I use it all the time! Jaja.
Totally agree with you on "güey". "Órale" is definitely a lifesaver. You can just throw it in anywhere and people get it! Jaja.
¡Jaja, sí! "Güey" sí suena súper informal. Pero "órale" es la neta, ¡para todo funciona! Me salva mucho también.
Yeah, "órale" is a lifesaver for sure! Glad we're all on the same page with that one. Jaja.
