Scrolling through TikTok for hours without realizing time has completely disappeared. It's the modern black hole of entertainment that swallows entire evenings without warning.

A stove or cooktop in Argentina, Chile, and Spain — what Mexicans call 'estufa.' The appliance where you make everything from a fried egg to a full banquet.

A stray or mixed-breed dog in Spain and Guatemala, those urban canines that survive everything. In other countries it also means intense cold, like when you say "it's chucho" and you're freezing to death.

A clumsy, useless, or incompetent person in Spain. Calling someone "tronco" means they're bad at what they're doing, like that friend who can't kick a ball straight or the coworker who messes everything up. Literally means "log" or "trunk," because a log just sits there being useless.
