Patitieso
A Mexican adjective for someone dead, passed out, or frozen stiff from shock or exhaustion. Literally "stiff-footed," like a corpse. Enormously popularized by El Chavo del 8, where Don Ramón threatened to "leave El Chavo patitieso" in practically every episode. Today it is used humorously for anyone completely wrecked, passed out, or unable to move.
