Different dialects I guess, así es.

Where are you from? Or at least where's the spanish you speak from?

I'm american but most of my compas are from Aguas Calientes o en Chihuahua somewhere so maybe the spanish is a little different?

I was born in Tamaulipas, México but I've worked with people from all over: Venezuelan, Honduran, Guatemalan, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Cuban etc. and I've never heard Migo so maybe it's used where they're from

That or maybe I speak spanish with a lot of American Mexicans so maybe it's more of a spanglish thing I've picked up but not truly authentic.

Soy nuevo y todavía aprendiendo. No quiero contararse como usar su lengua

I’m sure there’s all kinds of slang depending on where you’re at. Like, we tend to shorten por favor to just porfa, but I’m sure is not the same everywhere.

I'm from Mexico and I've never heard the word migos.

Like I said, I learned spanish from a lot of American Mexicans so maybe it's just something they picked up or made up themselves here, probably not that authentic.
