To want two people to be together romantically, or to root for a pairing. Borrowed from 'relationship,' shipping is an internet-born cultural act of projecting romantic connection onto real or fictional people.
To post a story on Instagram or WhatsApp — that 24-hour window into your life that disappears before anyone important sees it. Storear is the Spanglish verb the whole Spanish-speaking world adopted because 'subir una historia' was too many syllables for something people do 10 times a day.
Someone using fake photos and a false identity online to deceive others — usually in romantic contexts. The catfish creates an elaborate fake persona, builds emotional connections, and eventually gets exposed in a moment of brutal internet reality. It happens everywhere but feels personal every single time.
To share or repost someone else's content on your own social media — the digital version of word of mouth. Repostear is how content spreads like wildfire across Spanish-speaking social media: one share leads to another and suddenly everyone's talking about it.
To do something begrudgingly, protesting and without enthusiasm, while making it clear that you don't want to. This phrase is often used in Spain, Mexico, and Argentina.
