Fear of missing out on something fun that others are doing — that modern social anxiety that makes you check Instagram every five minutes to see what everyone's up to without you. It hits hardest when you chose to stay home.
To talk trash about someone behind their back, criticize them harshly when they're not around. In Mexico, 'pelar' someone is the classic behind-the-back gossip that everyone does but nobody admits to.

To be alert, attentive, sharp, and ready to react in Venezuela and Colombia. When someone tells you 'ponte mosca,' they're telling you to open your eyes because something's about to go down.
