/Sounds like "KWEH" (as in "quest") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Tipsy or pleasantly drunk, in that happy, loose, uninhibited phase before things go sideways. In Mexico "cuete" also means firecracker or rocket, and the image fits: someone lit up and launched by the alcohol. It describes the fun stage of the night, not the messy one.
“He showed up to karaoke already lit and sang every song without a care.”
“He was already buzzed after the second drink.”
/Sounds like "KWEH" (as in "quest") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Being drunk, especially visibly and intensely so. In Mexico and Guatemala, "agarrar un cuete" means getting wasted at a party without watching the clock. The word cuete originally means firecracker, which gives you a sense of what the buzz feels like.
“He got absolutely hammered at the party and remembered nothing the next day.”
“With how drunk you are right now you cannot even think about driving.”

Mortal
Something incredibly good, intense, or impactful that leaves you speechless. When something is mortal, it exceeded all expectations and no regular adjective is enough to describe how epic it was.
