la what, what is la standing for? la vez'

I don't know. I have asked friends and teachers the same thing, but they don't know, either. One bilingual friend, a Mexican-American, jokingly asked me back, "Why do you white guys always say 'Have a good one'? Have a good what'" His point was that we don't always think about things like that when we speak, and while there may have been a feminine noun at some point, today no one thinks about what the pronoun refers to. I satisfy myself by assuming that it means "la cosa." But that is just me.

But I can assure you that Latinos around here and in Mexico almost universally use "la."

-La pasé muy bien anoche.
-I had a great time last night.

That's probably the most common way, but it may change with the context, which you haven't provided.

That sounds a bit strange. I'd definitely say "Lo pasamos muy bien".

Laura, please fix your title (use the words you´re asking about) and your category (should be Vocabulary & Grammar for this one). You might also try searching on the Forum for this one first.
