Cabrón22 votes

A bold, tough, impressive, or troublesome person in Mexico and Spain. One of the most versatile words in Spanish, it can range from the harshest insult to the highest compliment depending on tone and context. Calling an exam 'cabrón' means it's brutally hard, but calling a businessman 'cabrón' means he's a total boss.

Ni ahí21 votes

Total indifference — not caring at all about something or someone in Chile. When you're "ni ahí," you couldn't care less. It's maximum apathy: you don't know, don't care, and aren't going to start now.

Tonear20 votes

To go out partying and drinking, usually until the early hours of the morning. In Peru, this is the favorite weekend verb when plans involve music, drinks, and zero responsibilities. If someone asks you "¿Vamos a tonear?", they are inviting you to a night out where the only goal is to have a great time and worry about the consequences tomorrow.

Jangueo19 votes

Hanging out with friends, going out to have fun or just spending time together. Borrowed from the English "hang out" and adapted into Puerto Rican Spanish, "jangueo" is central to the island's social culture, covering everything from a chill night at someone's house to a full blown party.

Plop18 votes

An expression of shock or bewilderment, like being left completely speechless by something unexpected. It comes from the Chilean and Argentine comic strip Condorito, where characters literally fall flat on the ground with a 'plop' when something absurd happens. Used when reality hits you so hard you don't even know how to respond.
