/Sounds like "gah" (as in "garden") + "NAHR" (as in "nacho")/
To beat someone to something, snag it before they can react, a spot in line, a parking space, or even a person's affection. It's that frustrating moment when you lose something by a split second.
“Someone snagged the parking spot right before me by one second.”
“I wanted to buy the last one but someone beat me to it.”

Lío
A secret romantic fling or hidden affair. In Spain having a "lio" means something is going on with someone on the side: not an official partner, not declared to anyone, just something carried in silence.
