/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "rrahs" + "TRAH" (as in "tract") + "doh" (as in "door")/
A person who does absolutely anything for someone who doesn't reciprocate, humiliating themselves without dignity. The arrastrado loses all self-respect for a crumb of attention or affection, and everyone sees it except them.
“Stop being so desperate, she doesn't want you.”
“He's so whipped he sends her flowers every day.”

Le cayó el veinte
The penny finally dropped: someone finally understood something that had been going over their head. The image comes from old Mexican pay phones where you dropped a 20-cent coin ("el veinte") to make the connection. Used both sincerely when someone genuinely figures something out, and sarcastically when they took way too long.
