A Spanish intensifier meaning a lot, very, or super. Young people in Spain use "mazo" constantly in everyday conversation to amplify anything: "me gusta mazo" (I like it a lot), "es mazo difícil" (it is super hard), "hay mazo gente" (there are tons of people). It is very much a Spain thing and you will rarely hear it in Latin America. Think of it as the Spanish equivalent of saying "hella" or "mad" as intensifiers in American English.
Bombarding someone with excessive attention, gifts, and sweet words at the start of a relationship to manipulate and control them. When it seems too good to be true, it probably is and comes with hidden intentions.
A speed bump in Spain and Colombia. Those raised humps on the road designed to slow you down that also destroy your car's suspension. Every Spanish-speaking country has a different name for them: "topes" in Mexico, "lomos de toro" in Chile, "policías acostados" in other countries, and "resalto" in Spain and Colombia.
A clumsy and ignorant person who doesn't learn no matter how many times you explain something. The insult of the person who has run out of patience trying to make someone understand.
When someone says something you totally agree with and it's objectively true beyond any debate. It's like saying 'you're absolutely right' but in Gen Z fashion — quick, direct, and final.
