: Translation anyone?This is one of those ambivelant terms in calo. You can use it either to say, Esta de poca madre, that's really cool. Or you can say "Que poca madre" That really sucks.

Poca madre means it sucks, actually. The complex of "madrismos" is confusing, but not that blurred. "No tiene madre" can be ambivalent, but if you got little mama, you are a bummer, no two ways about it.

it depends on where you heard it, in Monterrey Mexico, if you say esta con madre, it means awesome!! if somebody tells you " no tieme madre" then it is really bad... or if they say " no tiene madre" it can be awesome or it sucks!... you always have to pay attention to the context.: Poca madre means it sucks, actually. The complex of "madrismos" is confusing, but not that blurred. "No tiene madre" can be ambivalent, but if you got little mama, you are a bummer, no two ways about it.
