There is no single Mexican word for every kind of refill.

The Mexican Spanish word for words is palabras. The singular is palabra. Swear words are called groserías or malas palabras in Mexico.

The plain command for go away is Vete. Lárgate is much rougher, and Déjame en paz means leave me alone.

In Mexico a cigar is a puro. The word cigarro usually means a cigarette, so do not use it for a cigar. A cigar smoker is fumador de puros.

In Mexico the holiday is called Día de Muertos. Día de los Muertos is also heard, and both mean “Day of the Dead”.

In Mexico the fruit and the color are both naranja. Anaranjado also works for the color, and orange juice is jugo de naranja.

To greet a friend in Mexico say Hola, amigo to a man and Hola, amiga to a woman. ¿Qué onda? is the casual Mexican way to say “what is up”.

In Mexican Spanish “liar” is mentiroso for a man and mentirosa for a woman. The verb is mentir. The word is the same in Mexico as elsewhere.

The Spanish form of Sarah is Sara, written without the final h. In Mexico a small or beloved Sara may be called Sarita.

Here is aquí in Spanish, and Mexicans also say acá all the time. They are both correct and mean nearly the same thing.
