/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "ehn" (as in "egg") + "gahn" (as in "garden") + "CHAH" (as in "chat") + "doh" (as in "door")/
To be totally hooked on something and unable to stop. Think binge-watching a show at 3 a.m. or losing an entire afternoon to a game. You want to quit but the pull is too strong.
“He is hooked on that show and has not slept in three nights.”
“I got completely sucked into that game and the whole afternoon just disappeared.”

To be romantically hooked on someone you cannot get out of your head, even when you know you should move on. Your heart stays attached long after your brain has told you it is not going anywhere. Used across Argentina, Chile, Spain, and Mexico for that helpless feeling of still being hung up on someone.
“Se enganchó con su ex y no la supera, tío.”
“He got hooked on his ex and just can't let it go.”
“Está enganchado con esa chica del trabajo y no puede concentrarse en nada.”
“He's totally hung up on that girl from work and can't focus on anything.”

Papelón
A public embarrassment big enough for everyone to witness and remember. Making a papelón means you messed up in front of an audience: forgot your speech, fell down the stairs at work, or said something completely wrong in a meeting. The shame has witnesses.
