A soccer move where you pass the ball through your opponent's legs, also known as a "nutmeg" in English. Pulling off a caño is the ultimate act of showboating on the field, it generates louder screams from the crowd than an actual goal and leaves the defender looking completely foolish.
To screw everything up, to not get a single thing right. This expression comes from soccer, describing someone who can't even kick the ball properly, and it is used for any situation where absolutely nothing is going your way. Whether it's a bad day at work, a disastrous exam, or fumbling through a conversation, "no dar pie con bola" means you are completely off your game. Common across Spain and Latin America.
An automated account on social media that isn't a real person but a program that posts or comments automatically. Also used as an insult for someone who plays video games so badly they seem programmed.
The spooning position for sleeping or cuddling, where one person nestles behind the other like stacked spoons. It is the classic couples' sleeping pose across Latin America, intimate, warm, and universally understood, whether you are inviting someone to cuddle or complaining that it is way too hot for that right now.
