A favor or a solid someone does for you when you need it in Mexico. Asking for a paro is asking a trusted friend for help, the kind of favor that gets returned when they need one.
To draw unnecessary attention or do something that gives away a situation that should've stayed hidden. In Mexico it means acting suspicious or blowing your cover when you should be playing it cool.
An aggressive, rough person who's hard to deal with and intimidates others with their attitude. In Mexico, being 'bronco' means having a bad temper and zero social tact.
To kickstart something with energy, to get the ball rolling and just go for it. In Mexico, "dar cran" comes from the sound of cranking an engine to life, so it means giving a project or task that initial burst of momentum. You use it when someone needs to stop hesitating and start doing.
To get together and drink caguamas (liter-sized beers) with friends, usually on the sidewalk or at someone's house. In Mexico, it's the most honest, budget-friendly weekend plan: cold caguamas and good conversation.
