Ok… this is a juicy one! 🧃
So, the verb mamar can mean un buen de cosas in Mexican Spanish, but one of the big ones is: to talk bullshit.
And que no mamemos is basically an extension of that same idea…
It’s a vulgar way of saying:
👉 let’s not kid ourselves / let’s not bullshit ourselves
🌪️ When to whip it out
Whenever you want to bring all the dreamers back down to earth:
Que no mamemos, ya sabían lo que estaban haciendo.
Let’s not bullshit ourselves, they knew exactly what they were doing.
Que no mamemos, esto nunca iba a salir bien.
Let’s not kid ourselves, this was never gonna end well.
Que tampoco nos mamemos, no podíamos esperar tanto con tan poco presupuesto.
But let’s be real for a second, we couldn't expect that much with such a small budget.
⚠️ Tone
💀 VERY informal.
💀 Can be blunt and slightly aggressive.
✅ The perfect chunk for when you’re fed up with bullshit.
