/Sounds like "flee" (as in "flee") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "doh" (as in "door")/
In Spain, someone who is high on drugs or so disconnected from reality that they seem to be operating on a completely different level. Also used for anyone whose ideas or behavior are wildly out there, whether chemically induced or just naturally strange.
“That guy is always out of it, nobody can make sense of him.”
“He showed up to the party completely wasted and could not recognize anyone.”
/Sounds like "flee" (as in "flee") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "doh" (as in "door")/
In Spain, blown away or totally shocked by something unexpected. From the English "to flip out." You can be flipado by something amazing or by something outrageous. The feeling is the same: you are standing there wide-eyed with no words.
“Me quedé flipado cuando vi cuánto costaba el apartamento.”
“I was floored when I saw how much the apartment cost.”
“Flipé cuando me dijo que había ganado el concurso.”
“I was blown away when she told me she had won the competition.”

Darle atole con el dedo
To string someone along with empty promises, half-truths, or vague reassurances that keep them pacified without ever resolving the actual problem. A classic Mexican bureaucratic tactic: you leave every conversation feeling like something was said, but nothing was actually done.
