A woman with a flashy, over-the-top aesthetic tied to narco culture in northern Mexico. Think long acrylic nails, designer bags, lip fillers, and corridos tumbados playing in the background. It can be used descriptively or as a mild insult depending on the tone, but the look is unmistakable.

Being in one's element, doing what one does best and enjoying it. When you're in your element, everything flows smoothly.

Tanned animal hide used to make shoes, bags, jackets, and accessories. Leather goods are a status symbol and a craft tradition across Latin America, especially in Mexico and Argentina.

Extremely cheap, a total tightwad. In Mexico, a pichicato is someone who will not spend a single peso even if their life depended on it. It goes beyond being frugal, it is when someone's stinginess becomes ridiculous or uncomfortable, like never tipping, never chipping in for group meals, or always conveniently "forgetting" their wallet. Stronger and more colorful than just calling someone "codo" (cheap).
