/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "rree" + "MAHR" (as in "mark") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "AHS" (as in "art") + "kwah" (as in "quack") + "AH" (as in "art") + "SOO" (as in "soup") + "sahr" (as in "salsa") + "DEE" (as in "deep") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
To always act in your own self-interest, pulling every situation toward personal gain regardless of how it affects everyone else. A classic image from Spanish: fanning the embers toward your own sardine while others go cold. The go-to phrase for describing someone transparently selfish in negotiations or group settings.
“Everything he proposes just benefits himself, he never thinks about the team.”
“He is very skilled at steering every negotiation to his own advantage.”

Short
Shorts. The English word was borrowed wholesale across Latin America and is used daily everywhere from the beach to the gym to casual errands. In Spain people still tend to say "pantalón corto," but the anglicism "short" (often used in the singular) has completely taken over in most of Latin America.
