/Sounds like "flee" (as in "flee") + "PAHN" (as in "park") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Something so incredible or mind-blowing it leaves you speechless. In Spain it's used a lot to describe experiences or things that surprise you in the best way. Comes from 'flipar.'.
“The concert was flipante.”
“He's got a flipante house with an ocean view, you wouldn't believe it.”

Mojado
A historically pejorative term in Chicano vocabulary referring to an undocumented person who swam across the Rio Grande to enter the United States. It literally means "wet" because they came out of the water. The word carried stigma for decades, but in Chicano communities it has been reclaimed with pride: "soy mojado y qué" is a common line in corridos and Chicano rap. Use with care: context changes everything.
