To fall hard for someone, to become completely infatuated to the point where you can't think straight. In Mexico, when someone "se enchula," they're head over heels and probably making bad decisions because of it. It's that stage of a crush where you lose all rational thought and can't stop talking about the person.
A rapid bus system with a dedicated lane that works like a subway but on wheels. In Mexico City, Bogotá, and Buenos Aires, the metrobús is the most efficient and affordable mass transit option.
A dazed, spaced-out person who doesn't react and seems disconnected from the world. When someone's lelo, their brain went on vacation and their body stayed behind on autopilot.
To oversleep in Mexico because the bed was just too comfy and warm. It's the perfect excuse for being late to work: "the blankets stuck to me" — and nobody can argue with that logic.
A robbery, scam, or rip-off where someone takes your money or belongings. In Mexico, a tumbe can be anything from a street mugging to an online purchase that never arrived. It comes from "tumbar," meaning to knock down, and it perfectly captures that feeling of getting knocked over by someone who just took what was yours.
