First I am going to use a slang word that needs defining. Güey = Dude. See the attached link.

güey

So using Spanglish (a mix of Spanish and English) translate: ¡Ni modo, güey!

I hear this word used like ever other word and I knew what it meant but I did not no how it was spelled. I thought it was "way" - Ranman, Jun 30, 2012
good for you, spellin güey correctly. that's rare! - unMica, Jun 30, 2012
Wikipedia says it is vulgar, is it? - katydew, Jun 30, 2012
The literal translation is fool or jerk. So not very vulgar. The slang version is used all the time in Mexico. - gringojrf, Jun 30, 2012

A dude who works on a ranch is a cowboy right? So, in order to have equal opportunity for both sexes here we need to have a female version. Dude=cowboy/dudette=cowgirl

My feminine Spanglish version:

No manera vaquera.

no is my english word grin

I like it! - gringojrf, Jun 30, 2012
By the way, güey is used when talking to both males and females. - gringojrf, Jun 30, 2012
I'm glad you like it gringo :-) Is there a Spanish term for words that can mean both sexes? - 0095ca4c, Jun 30, 2012
