A person so boring and heavy that they drain the energy out of everyone around them with their endless, mind-numbing conversation. They're a human sedative nobody wants to get stuck talking to.

A short-sleeve t-shirt for everyday wear in Argentina and Uruguay. It's the basic wardrobe staple you throw on without thinking to go do anything.

A bribe or illegal payment made to officials or authorities to get things done or make problems disappear. Corruption's favorite currency, sadly common in many Latin American countries.
