Mexico
All expressions
A job, or the action of going somewhere in Mexico. It's used both for your daily employment and to invite someone to come along: '¿Le jalas?' means 'You coming?' in pure street language.
To be completely fed up, exhausted, and with zero patience left for an unbearable situation in Mexico. It's the maximum expression of being done — the last level before you explode and send everything to hell.
To have a crush or be intensely infatuated with someone who won't let you think about anything else. In Mexico, Peru, and Ecuador, 'tener un camote' means being obsessed.
To manipulate someone into doubting their own reality, memory, or perception. A psychology anglicism that went mainstream on social media.
To feel an intense burning sensation in your mouth from eating something too spicy, that fiery feeling that spreads across your tongue and makes your eyes water. It's the Mexican trial by fire.
