The shortened form of '¿Qué pedo?': what's up, what happened, what's the plan in Mexico. It's the quick, direct greeting between buddies when you want to cut to the chase.

A sister or an extremely close female friend you trust completely, like family. In Mexico, your carnala is your ride-or-die girl who knows everything about you.

A Mexican street food made of corn masa with pinched-up edges so nothing falls off, topped with beans, cream, lettuce, cheese, and salsa. It's the perfect base that holds any delicious combination.

A soccer player who dives and exaggerates contact to fool the referee into calling a foul. The word literally means "diver" (as in Olympic diving), which is the perfect metaphor for someone who throws themselves to the ground with theatrical flair over the slightest touch. Mexico's version of calling someone a flopper.
