An offensive insult for a very fat person or someone who eats excessively, comparing them to the animal. It's derogatory, rude, and shouldn't be used, but unfortunately it exists and is heard in popular speech.
An intensifier meaning "really" or "extremely," used in Chile to amplify any adjective to its maximum level. It's like saying "hella" or "crazy" before an adjective in English. Comes from a vulgar root but in everyday Chilean Spanish it's used casually without much shock value, everyone from teenagers to adults throws it around.

Widely used on social media across all of Latin America and Spain.
