language post: daily conversation

Since I've arrived in Spain, I have learned a lot of words that are used on a daily basis in normal, casual conversation. I've realized that a lot of the things we learn in high school about conversation are just basic and standard, and there are so many other phrases to keep conversation interesting.

buenas- hi
que tal- how's it going? or simply "que"
digame- when answering the phone, literally "tell me"
madre mia- oh wow
no me digas- you dont say?
no pasa nada- don't worry about it (said for EVERYTHING)

que guay! - how awesome
de puta madre- really awesome (a little vulgar, not horrible)
borracho/a- drunk
ciego/a- drunk
dar un vuelta- take a walk
