Buey (or guey): nowadays it's the Mexican equivalent to "dude", but it can be used as a derogatory; "no seas buey" means don't be an idiot. And yes, it's the same word used to describe a catrated bull.
This is what I've heard too and what I believed, but the dolts at my work told me it was guey. Apparently, a lot of Mexicans don't know that it's Buey. That's what I thought it was. Thanks.

By the way. The alt 164 thing isn't working on my laptop. I hold the alt key down and press 164 right? What is the trick? I wonder if you need the separate number keypad?
