An independent, mysterious man who goes through life his own way without following anyone or seeking approval. Comes from the internet wolf hierarchy and is used as either an ironic or serious compliment depending on context.

A thief or someone who steals small things, a petty crook in Mexico. If someone has a reputation as an "uña" (literally "fingernail"), it means everyone hides their stuff when you show up because anything left unattended mysteriously disappears around you. It's more about sneaky swiping than armed robbery.

To argue or bicker with someone until nobody is listening anymore and both people are just talking over each other. In Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela, "alegar" is that kind of argument where volume wins over reason, the louder you are, the more right you think you are.

A traffic jam where cars get trapped and can barely inch forward. It's the daily torture of living in any major Latin American city during rush hour.
