What it means

  1. Nope. A flat slang no, often extended to nel pastel purely for the rhyme.

Examples with translations

  • —¿Le prestaste dinero? —Nel, ni loco.

  • Nel pastel, esa película ya la vi.

    Nah, I've already seen that film.

    Note: pastel means 'cake' and contributes nothing but the rhyme.
