Marijuana, weed, or cannabis — one of the oldest terms in Mexican slang for the plant. 'Yesca' predates most modern vocabulary and comes from the word for tinder or kindling — dried plant material that catches fire easily. Still used, especially by older generations.

A wild party, lively celebration, or joyful commotion full of noise and energy. In Spain and Mexico, a 'jarana' is the kind of night that starts as a quiet get-together and escalates into a full-blown party nobody planned. The word has the sound of fun in it.

To give you chills or goosebumps — from something exciting, scary, or deeply moving. In Mexico, 'enchinar' describes that involuntary physical reaction when music hits perfectly, a horror movie works, or someone touches you emotionally in a way that travels right through your skin.

A man completely dominated by his wife or partner — someone who does everything she says without question. In Mexico, 'mandil' is the househusband pushed to an extreme: not just doing chores, but having surrendered all independence. Said with either pity or mild contempt.
