Discreetly, secretly, or in a moderate way without wanting to draw attention. When you like something but don't want to openly admit it and keep a low profile about it. Borrowed directly from English and used widely by younger Spanish speakers across Latin America and Spain.
To do something spectacular, to shine brilliantly and knock it out of the park leaving everyone impressed. When someone 'la rompió,' their performance was so good there aren't enough words to describe it.
A despicable person, a lowlife, or someone with a terrible reputation. Calling someone a lacra means they're the scum of society — a criminal, a deadbeat, or just an absolutely awful human being.
Working from home — the work mode the pandemic normalized forever. Your office is the living room, your uniform is pajamas, and your boss can't see you're watching TikTok between Zoom meetings.
