All expressions
A universal expression in Spanish-speaking countries to wish good luck or ask for something to go well, accompanied by the gesture of crossing the index finger over the middle finger. It is used when one can no longer do anything else.
To turn something or someone into internet mockery material by creating and sharing viral memes. When you get memeado, your face, quote, or embarrassing moment goes viral and there's no erasing it from the internet.
To give someone attention or acknowledge them, to show interest in what they say or do. In Argentina and Chile, 'dar cabida' means recognizing someone's existence.
To wash the dirty dishes with water, soap, and a sponge after eating. It's the household chore absolutely nobody wants to do and that generates more family arguments than any other topic at home.
To overthink obsessively, turn a topic over in your head, or plan compulsively until you're mentally exhausted. It's the Argentine brain in turbo mode that won't stop analyzing, scheming, and anticipating scenarios.
