I was told that in la costa manda huevos is un poco groseria Some people told me the phrase "manda huevos" is considered a bit of a groseria amoung people of the coast but can also be used between friends & loved one's with affection or in a joking manner.

My girlfriend's mother definitely likes me and has said she looks forward to seeing me & her daughter getting married in the church.

It was probably a joke I just didn't (and still don't) understand.

Any other comments are appreciated.

context
Don: "Some people told me the phrase "manda huevos" is considered a bit of a groseria amoung people of the coast but can also be used between friends & loved one's with affection or in a joking manner".

Yes it is consider a bit of groseria, so some peolpe replace it by "mandas cascaras". Same meaning.

I dont know how to translate, but here are some exapmles:

If a taxidriver charges you $10.000 instead of $5.000 (which should be the price), you can say "manda huevos" or "manda cascaras" because he is charging more than expected.

Another context: If someone says: Lets go to a bar, but you pay the bill, then you can say: "mandas huevos" (something like: are you crazy? why should I pay for your drinks?).

If someone does not stop when the traffic light is red and drives too fast, then you can say: "ese man manda huevos..."
