An alcoholic drink, a shot, or a round of drinks. In all of Latin America, tomarse un trago is the go-to social plan — it's the ritual that bookends the week, seals deals, and keeps friendships alive.

To notice, catch on or realize what's happening. In Peru manyarse means you clocked something others missed — you read the room before anyone else did.

Spoiled food that's gone bad, decomposed, and smells awful. In Ecuador and Peru, 'abombado' is the vivid word for that moment when food has clearly turned — the smell hits you first, then the texture confirms it. Don't eat it.

To drink alcohol, to booze it up. In Peru and Ecuador, 'chupar' is the most direct and everyday way to say you're going to drink. It implies a social outing with friends, good vibes, and probably staying out too late.
