In serious trouble, in a deeply compromised situation. Being 'en el horno' in Argentina means there's no easy way out anymore — the worst possible scenario.
Trapped, stuck, or abandoned somewhere with no way out. When you're 'amurado,' someone left you stranded in a situation with no solution — and you just wait.
Someone who constantly causes trouble or picks fights. A bardero can't stay calm — they provoke, insult, or stir things up wherever they go. In Argentina it's a pretty clear-cut label.
In Argentina and the Southern Cone, to get extremely scared — to turn white with fear or have a sudden drop in confidence. The physical pallor of fright expressed as a feeling.
To close your eyes and get some sleep, even briefly. 'No pegar los ojos' means being completely unable to sleep — lying awake all night no matter what you try.
