Across Latin America, a social blunder or communication error that creates an awkward and uncomfortable situation. The moment you say or do something wrong and immediately wish you could take it back.

A lively party or celebration filled with music, dancing, and joyful chaos. In Mexico and the Caribbean, a jarana is not just a get-together — it's a communal eruption of joy that can last until sunrise.

In Spain and Latin America, to wander around sad and aimless like a lost soul — drifting without purpose or direction, visibly hollow. The image of grief made into a walking figure.

In Argentina and the Southern Cone, to be terribly boring, inactive, and utterly uninteresting. A saco is the deadweight of any group — present in body but contributing absolutely nothing.
