To post a story on Instagram, WhatsApp, or any other social media platform. This has become part of the everyday vocabulary for the entire young Hispanic generation.
An affectionate, physically expressive person who loves hugs and physical contact. In Argentina, cariñoso can also be a polite way of calling someone clingy — someone who literally can't give you personal space.
To the maximum, without restrictions, giving 100%. It can also mean total agreement or absolute approval.
In Spain, to completely ruin a plan or situation that was going perfectly well, usually through a clumsy or out-of-place action. The person who messes things up almost always had good intentions.
In Spain, to catch an opportunity before it passes — to get on board something promising before it leaves without you. Whoever doesn't catch the train gets left standing on the platform watching it go.
