Chile
All expressions
To be head over heels or infatuated with someone in Chile, when that person has you completely lovesick. You can't stop thinking about them day and night, and everything reminds you of them.
To be hooked on someone romantically or addicted to something you can't let go of. When that person or thing has you trapped and you can't stop thinking about them even if you want to move on.
An ironic use where 'dar asco' (to be disgusting) actually means something is incredibly good — so good it's offensive. It's sarcasm turned into an expression: 'da asco lo bien que canta' means she's an insanely good singer.
Athletic or casual shorts, taken directly from English and adopted across all of Latin America. The essential garment for summer, the gym, and those days when the heat won't allow anything longer.
To be on your last legs — about to run out of money, energy, patience, or life itself at its most dramatic. The final limit where there's nothing left to give or try, rock bottom.
