Something boring, tedious, or that you really can't be bothered to do or listen to. Also a latoso person who's annoying, insistent, and won't stop bugging you or talking when nobody asked.
The common cold with coughing, runny nose, sore throat, and general misery that catches you when you least expect it. According to every Latino mom, you get a resfriado from going out with wet hair or walking barefoot.
To mess around, joke, waste time, or goof off. In Chile and Peru it's a multi-purpose word that can mean either bugging someone or doing absolutely nothing productive.
A person who tries way too hard to get the approval of someone who clearly does not reciprocate, acting desperate and submissive. Comes from English internet slang and is widely used on Spanish-speaking social media to call out people who donate money to streamers or bend over backwards for someone who barely acknowledges their existence.
To psychologically manipulate someone into doubting their own perception, memory, and sanity systematically. It's emotional abuse disguised as concern — 'you're overreacting' is the gaslighter's favorite phrase.
