An affectionate way to refer to a light skinned or blonde woman in Mexico. It's also used as a casual term of address at markets, shops, and street stalls for any woman regardless of her actual hair color or complexion. It can be a compliment, a catcall, or just the Mexican equivalent of "miss" depending on context.
Someone who oversteps their place, acts too familiar, or doesn't respect social boundaries. It describes a person who behaves as if they have more closeness or status than they actually do. In Latin American culture where social hierarchies matter, being called igualada is a serious diss, implying you don't know your place.
The gears or gear shifts you work when driving a manual transmission car in Mexico. The art of driving that automatics are slowly killing and that millennials barely know how to do anymore.
A show off or someone who exaggerates and pretends to be more than they are. In Mexico, it describes a person who brags, name drops, or flexes things they don't really have. Think of that guy who claims to drive a BMW but takes the bus home.
A direct request for someone to share, chip in, or fork over money for something. It's the Mexican way of saying "cough it up" or "do your part," whether it's splitting the bill, contributing to a group fund, or just being generous with food or drinks.
