Create account/Sounds like "gloh" (as in "glow") + "RYEH" + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A traffic roundabout where all cars circle a central island before exiting. In Mexico City, navigating a glorieta during rush hour is a full contact sport: you have to be assertive or you will go around forever.
“Turn at the roundabout and take the second exit.”
“The Insurgentes roundabout during rush hour is absolute madness.”

Le cayó el veinte
The penny finally dropped: someone finally understood something that had been going over their head. The image comes from old Mexican pay phones where you dropped a 20-cent coin ("el veinte") to make the connection. Used both sincerely when someone genuinely figures something out, and sarcastically when they took way too long.
