Jangueo17 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.

Cuero16 votes

A way to call someone extremely hot or physically attractive in Caribbean and Latin American Spanish. Calling someone "un cuero" is a strong compliment about their looks, similar to saying someone is a total knockout. It is commonly used in Colombia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, often in casual conversations when pointing out how good-looking someone is. The word literally means "leather" or "skin," but in slang it has nothing to do with materials.

Monse15 votes

Boring, lame, dull, or just plain uninteresting in Peru. Used to describe people, situations, or things that are so tedious you would rather be doing literally anything else. If a party was "monse," it means it was so dead you left early or fell asleep on the couch.

Panchero14 votes

A drama queen — someone who makes a huge scene over the smallest things. In Mexico and Argentina, a panchero turns a glass of water into a tsunami. They exaggerate everything and love being the center of attention during any conflict.

Pituto13 votes

A connection, hookup, or inside contact who helps you get something, whether it's a job, a favor, or access to something exclusive. In Chile it's extremely common and reflects the culture of "it's not what you know, it's who you know." Having a pituto can open doors that talent alone sometimes can't.
