In Spain, to swipe or steal something quickly and opportunistically when nobody is looking. No confrontation, no violence, just taking advantage of an unguarded moment.
“Someone swiped his wallet on the metro without him noticing.”
“She grabbed the phone off the table the moment everyone looked away.”
/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "fah" (as in "far") + "NAHR" (as in "nacho") + "seh" (as in "set")/
In Spain, to work very hard and with sustained intensity on a task until it gets done. Real, committed effort over an extended period, not a quick burst but a genuine grind toward a goal you have set for yourself.
“She worked incredibly hard for weeks to finish the project on time.”
“He grinds so hard at work that he has no time left for anything else.”

Pasmado
To freeze up and stop reacting when something unexpected happens. In Spain it also describes someone who is generally slow or checked out, not just stunned by a surprise. Think deer in headlights, but sometimes just permanently spaced out.
