Meaning

To be flat broke in Mexico, when your wallet is completely empty and you don't even have enough for a soda. Being cortado means you can't participate in any plans because the money simply doesn't exist.

Examples

I'm super cortado, don't get paid until Friday.

He's cortado on cash, can't go out.

A fresh aromatic herb essential in Mexican and Latin cooking that has famously divided humanity into two camps: those who love it and put it on absolutely everything, and those who think it tastes like soap and pick it out of every single dish.
