To be broke or in a terrible financial situation — flat on the canvas like a knocked-out boxer. When you're 'en la lona,' your wallet is empty and payday can't come fast enough.

Athletic or casual shorts, taken directly from English and adopted across all of Latin America. The essential garment for summer, the gym, and those days when the heat won't allow anything longer.

To be on your last legs — about to run out of money, energy, patience, or life itself at its most dramatic. The final limit where there's nothing left to give or try, rock bottom.

To eat so much you end up with a stomachache, feeling bloated and miserable from the excess. It's the painful consequence of ignoring your body's 'stop eating' signals.
