Create accountA Mexican expression used to find out what someone is really made of when faced with a challenge. Saying "vamos a ver de qué lado masca la iguana" (let us see which way the iguana chews) means it is time to stop talking and prove what you can do. Pure pressure with a playful twist.
“Let us see what you are made of in the final round.”
“Now we will find out which way the iguana chews.”

Encuevarse
To disappear from social life and hole up somewhere private, like an animal retreating to its cave. In Mexico, when you encuevarte you stop answering calls, skip going out, and cut contact with the world until you feel ready to resurface. It can be a response to conflict, heartbreak, or simply needing a real break from people.
