To be on your last legs — about to run out of money, energy, patience, or life itself at its most dramatic. The final limit where there's nothing left to give or try, rock bottom.
To eat so much you end up with a stomachache, feeling bloated and miserable from the excess. It's the painful consequence of ignoring your body's 'stop eating' signals.

To take or grab something with your hand in Latin America — the universal verb for picking things up. While Spain uses 'coger,' Latin America sticks with 'agarrar' to avoid the awkward double meaning.
A rubber or plastic eraser for removing pencil or chalk marks in Mexico, Colombia, and other countries. Also means a draft or preliminary text that isn't finished yet, two meanings in one word.
