Cultural Context

In practically every Spanish-speaking country, it primarily means blowjob. But in Mexico, its figurative use is an art form. 'No digas mamadas' (Don't say blowjobs) translates perfectly to 'Don't talk bullshit'. If a referee makes a terrible call that costs your team the match, it was 'una reverenda mamada'.
