To deceive or scam someone in Argentina and Uruguay, making them believe something fake to take advantage of them. When you get currado, you're left looking like a fool after discovering it was all lies.

A dumb, clueless, or slow person who can't understand things in Mexico and Argentina. The zonzo lives in their own world, misses every hint, and needs everything explained three times to get it.

An expression of amazement meaning something or someone is incredibly good or impressive, like saying "that is insane" or "that is fire" in English. In Chile and Mexico you use it when something blew past all your expectations by a mile. Despite its vulgar origin (literally "they shit it"), it is purely positive.
