/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "LAHS" (as in "lava") + "OOL" (as in "Uber") + "tee" (as in "tea") + "mahs" (as in "mark")/
To be running on empty, nearly out of something: money, energy, patience, or health. The absolute final limit where there is nothing left to give. Used across most of the Spanish-speaking world.
“My phone is on its last legs, it is at two percent battery.”
“I am completely done with this project, I cannot take it anymore.”

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.
