Create account/Sounds like "bahn" (as in "bar") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
The sidewalk in Mexico, the raised space next to the street where you walk to avoid getting run over. In Mexico nobody says "acera", it's banqueta, and don't you dare drive your car up on the banqueta.
“Walk on the banqueta, not on the street.”
“The banqueta is all broken up, people are gonna trip.”

Quemarse el foco
In Mexico, to mentally exhaust yourself trying to solve a problem until your brain just gives out with nothing to show for it. The image is a lightbulb that has burned out: it used to illuminate things, now it is just dark.
