A strong Mexican expression meaning 'hell yeah!', 'absolutely!', or 'of course!'. Used to confirm something with enthusiasm and total certainty. It's like saying 'no doubt about it' but with Mexican energy.
A person who does absolutely anything for someone who doesn't reciprocate, humiliating themselves without dignity. The arrastrado loses all self-respect for a crumb of attention or affection, and everyone sees it except them.
A severe beating or series of hard blows someone receives brutally in Mexico. It's not just one hit — it's when you get beaten badly, repeatedly, without being able to defend yourself.
A classic street scam where someone approaches you with a package supposedly full of cash they just "found" and convinces you to put up your own money as a sign of good faith, only to disappear with your real cash while you're left holding worthless paper. It's one of the oldest cons in Latin America.
To make a mistake or mess up, especially by saying something inappropriate at the worst possible moment. When you screw up unintentionally, everyone notices, and there's no way to unsay what you said.
