A tiny piece of paper with hidden notes used to cheat on an exam without the teacher noticing. It's the Mexican version of a cheat sheet, a survival tool for the unprepared student.
Maybe or perhaps in Argentina — used as an adverb of possibility without being sure of the outcome. Leaving everything in the hands of fate and luck, because maybe yes or maybe no.
A hard punch, a full-force hit. In Argentina and Uruguay, 'darse piñas' means getting into a fistfight, and one well-placed piña can knock anyone flat.
To make the bed by straightening the sheets and arranging the pillows when you get up — the first morning obligation every mother demands. Also used as an expression meaning to set someone up or conspire against them.
