What is and how is it spelled the word that sounds like "way?" I think it means buddy or pal.

In Mexico this is a term used amongst men and it literally means "guy who's woman cheats behind his back". It's used jokingly amongst friends but it's an ugly word.

The previous poster, nena, is correct. It is a term similar to the word "fool" usually said amongst friends. It sounds as though it is pronounced "way", or at least close enough. I have also observed people using the term in every sentence, or even more frequently! It appears to be used mostly by younger people, and I have heard it used by some of my neighbors children who are as young as 10 - 12 years. It doesn't seem like a bad word, but it does contribute to an ever increasing "dumbing down" of the language, whether it is used within a conversation entirely in spanish or, as one often hears, a mixture of Spanish and English.

I agree with the previous person. Not something to say if you do not know the person well enough, could be insulting.

guey not way
by: nena

Hi I saw this Question and thought it was a little funny! GUEY can mean a couple of things. If you say it between friends it's like saying "Whats up fool" or "Dude". I know someone that can have a three min conversation and say guey 13 times! But not may girls like this term! Hope this helps
