A shy, nerdy person who's naive and unworldly. The 'ñoño' hasn't been around much and generally studies a lot. In Chile and Argentina it carries a mild affectionate touch even as a label.
In vain, for nothing, with no useful result whatsoever. Doing something 'al pedo' is a complete waste of time — in Argentina it's used to describe useless errands, endless lines, and pointless meetings.
To notice, realize, or finally become aware of something you hadn't seen before. The moment of darse cuenta can be a small social observation or a life-changing realization — both hit with the same sudden clarity.
The indirect, subtle introduction of a new partner on social media — no formal announcement, just a strategically placed hand, a blurry background presence, or a vague mention that lets followers put the pieces together.
In a very sudden way, without prior notice or in a very short time. Used when a change occurs unexpectedly and instantly.
