¡manda huevos!
unbelievable! / what the hell! / can you believe this!
Pronunciation
/ˈman.da ˈwe.βos/
Cultural Note
Literally 'send eggs,' but 'huevos' is Spanish slang for testicles, so this is essentially an expression of outraged disbelief involving male anatomy. It's used when something is so absurd, unfair, or outrageous that you need to invoke reproductive organs to express your feelings. Very Spain-centric. Despite being vulgar, it's widely used across social classes — you might hear a politician mutter it on a hot mic. 'Huevos' in Spanish slang is incredibly productive: 'tener huevos' (to have guts), 'costar un huevo' (to cost a fortune), 'importar un huevo' (to not care at all).
