Bute
/Sounds like "BOO" (as in "boot") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A Chicano and Mexican adverb that dials whatever follows it up to the maximum. "Bute chilo" is top-tier cool, "bute suave" is totally chill, "bute gacho" is really bad. Comes from Pachuco calo and still rolls through the barrio. Works like "super" but with street flavor.
“That concert was top-tier cool, you never forget it.”
“It really stung that she did not invite me.”

Darle la vuelta a la tortilla
In Spain and Mexico, to completely flip a situation around, turning a loss into a win when everything seemed to be going against you. It is the ultimate comeback: the team down two goals in the second half, the negotiation that looked dead until it wasn't.
