To be hyped up, excited, or slightly buzzed from alcohol. When someone is "prendido" at a party, it either means the drinks are kicking in or they're just radiating pure good vibes and energy. Common across Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico.
The activity of spreading gossip, rumors, and other people's secrets nonstop and without any guilt. Chismorreo is the favorite sport of every office, WhatsApp group, and family gathering without exception.
That perfect sweet spot of being slightly drunk where everything is funnier, you feel braver, but you haven't lost control yet. It's the ideal party state, the golden zone before things go sideways. Used across Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Peru.
To get your act together, to really put in effort and act fast to get something done. In Mexico, aplicarse is going from lazy to productive in an instant.
Testicle. This word spawns dozens of expressions: 'tener huevos' (to be brave), 'huevón' (lazy or dumb), 'a huevo' (hell yeah/mandatory). It's the foundation of vulgar Spanish vocabulary.
