Completely broke, without a single peso to your name. In Mexico, pelangoche is a fun, slightly humorous way to say you have zero money, usually after spending too much on a vacation, a night out, or just life in general. It's the kind of word that makes being broke sound almost charming.
To be physically or emotionally destroyed after a devastating experience. When you can't take anymore and feel like a truck ran you over, in both body and soul.
To be hungover in Mexico, dealing with the brutal aftermath of drinking too much the night before. Headache, nausea, regret, the whole package. 'Crudo' literally means 'raw,' which perfectly captures how exposed and wrecked you feel the morning after a night out.
Spicy, something that packs a serious chili kick. In Mexico, everything can be picoso, from a salsa that makes your eyes water to a bold, cutting remark that leaves everyone speechless. If someone warns you that something is "bien picoso," proceed with extreme caution because Mexican spice levels are no joke.
To reject or get rid of someone firmly and without mercy in Mexico. When you 'manda a volar' someone, you're telling them to get out of your life and you don't plan on missing them.
