Capó
/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "POH" (as in "port")/
The hood of a car, the front cover that protects the engine. Used in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Spain, Peru, and Uruguay. You pop it open when something is wrong and smoke is coming out, hoping the repair bill will not be catastrophic.
“Pop the hood, the engine is overheating.”
“The hood got dented in the hailstorm, what a scare.”

Agarrar la fiesta
When a party really kicks into high gear, that moment when things go from chill to absolutely wild. In Mexico, "agarrar la fiesta" describes the turning point where the energy explodes, the music gets louder, everyone is dancing, and nobody wants to leave. It is that magical shift, usually past midnight, when the night goes from "this is nice" to "this is legendary." Literally it means "to grab the party.".
