To die, to kick the bucket. This is Mexico's casual, slightly humorous way of saying someone passed away. Literally translating to "kick the can," it's used more in lighthearted or irreverent contexts rather than solemn ones, similar to how English speakers say "kick the bucket" instead of "pass away."
A boring, low-energy, or mood-killing person who drains the atmosphere wherever they go. An aguado walks into a lively room and the energy visibly drops — they're the human equivalent of flat soda.
To intentionally forget something, dismiss its importance, and actively choose not to carry the burden of it, often as a means of moving on or starting anew.
To have bad luck, for everything to go wrong, or to be in a bad mood. In Mexico, 'estar de malas' can refer to a state of mind or a run of bad luck.
To offer something that doesn't exist, to promise without being able to fulfill it. The person who sells smoke generates empty expectations.
