La chingada is a term commonly used in colloquial, even crass, Mexican Spanish that refers to various conditions or situations of, generally, negative connotations. The word is derived from the verb chingar, "to fuck".

The concept of "la chingada" has been famously analysed by Octavio Paz in his book The Labyrinth of Solitude.
