In and of itself, that phrase means nothing, at least in Spanish. If yo provide some context maybe we can take a guess at what you heard. - Gekkosan, Jan 29, 2012

This is likely an improper response to something in northern mexico. Following a question "Simon pues..." would be like saying "Then yes..." .Si-mon being a play on the word (sí) and it's common for people to leave off the letters at the end of words in many parts of mexico. Leaving "pues" as pue. Hope that helps.

Si mon is a gangster slang way of saying, yes of course, or without a doubt. Most Hispanics will laugh at the insinuation that you are a Mexican gangster, but will regard you as a friend if you use it properly and make them laugh.

I disagree. This is just a street slang expression without having anything to do with gang bangers, although you may hear some use it. Normal people use it much more.

Gang bangers would say something a little more vulgar, such as: ¡A huevo (que sí)!

Was it in capitals? Could "Simon" by any chance be the name of a person?
