To kill an enemy with a single devastating hit or shot in a video game. When you get one-shot you didn't even have time to react — you were dead before you understood what happened.
A song that's an absolute hit, that lights up any party and everyone recognizes from the first notes. A banger is that track that never fails — you play it and people automatically get hyped.
To make a decisive play under maximum pressure when everything depends on you. Clutching means proving you've got nerves of steel when it matters most.
To reject someone romantically, to turn down their love interest. Giving someone calabazas hurts for both the giver and the receiver, but it's better than leading them on with false hope.
The afterparty, the gathering that happens after leaving the bar or club, usually at someone's house. In Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Spain, the after is where the night truly gets interesting. When the club closes at 4 or 5 AM but nobody wants to go home, someone suggests an after, and suddenly everyone piles into an apartment to keep the party going until sunrise or beyond. The after is legendary for being where the best stories and worst decisions happen.
