In Chile and parts of Latin America, to be a drag — to feel too lazy to do something, to find it tedious or effortful. When something da palo, the last thing you want to do is actually do it.

To exploit public resources, live off the state, or freeload from shared funds without contributing anything. Chupar del bote is a metaphor for draining a communal pot — politicians and career bureaucrats are the most common targets of this phrase.

To bother, pester, or insist on something so heavily that it drives someone crazy. In Spain and Latin America, dar la lata is the art of being insufferable — repeated, persistent, pointless nagging at its finest.

To go out and celebrate, have a night out with no restrictions. Irse de fiesta is the universal weekend plan across Latin America — it implies dancing, drinks, late nights, and the kind of stories you'll tell for years.
