Something kicked off intensely, a situation erupted, or an event started with massive force and energy. It can be an epic party, a street fight, or anything that explodes all of a sudden.
An elegant, well-dressed person with a distinguished look. In Mexico, catrín comes from the tradition of the "catrines," those fancy gentlemen with mustaches and top hats from the early 1900s, famously depicted in José Guadalupe Posada's "La Catrina" skeleton. Today it's used to compliment someone who's looking sharp and put-together.
Meat slow-cooked for hours, wrapped in maguey leaves and traditionally prepared in an underground pit. It's THE quintessential Sunday dish in Mexico, especially in Hidalgo and central Mexico.
To laugh uncontrollably, unable to stop cracking up. This is a vulgar but universally understood Spanish expression used to describe an extreme fit of laughter, where you just can't contain your amusement no matter how hard you try.
A fan of Los Bukis or Marco Antonio Solís, or someone who's overly sentimental and romantic, the kind of person who suffers for love like a classic Bukis ballad. In Mexico, calling someone "buki" means they're being dramatic about heartbreak, probably listening to sad love songs and refusing to move on. It's half teasing, half affectionate.
