The sheer audacity of doing something outrageous without shame or remorse — showing up, pulling the stunt, and walking away unbothered. Descaro is universal across Spanish-speaking countries: the person who cuts the line, takes credit for your work, or borrows money with zero intention of paying it back.
To like a post on social media — the most basic unit of digital approval. Likear is the verb that the entire Spanish-speaking internet adopted from English because 'dar me gusta' takes too long when you're scrolling at full speed through Instagram at 2 a.m.
To tag someone in a social media post, photo, or comment — linking their name so they get notified. Taggear is one of the most essential Spanglish verbs of the internet age, fully conjugated and used daily by everyone from teenagers to brand accounts across the Spanish-speaking world.
A cowardly person in Spain who backs down at the first problem or is afraid of everything. The cagueta always has an excuse to avoid taking risks.
To annoy, bother, or ruin something. In Spain, this word is so common that it has lost its impact, but in Latin America, it can be quite strong.
