/Sounds like "LEEM" (as in "lead") + "pyah"/
A purification ritual using herbs, eggs, incense, or candles to remove negative energy, bad luck, or spiritual illness. Limpias are deeply rooted in Latin American indigenous traditions and folk medicine.
“My grandma did a cleansing on me with an egg and herbs.”
“After the cleansing I felt lighter, like a weight was lifted.”

Ser un pelmazo
In Spain, an insufferably tiresome and persistent person who never reads the room. A pelmazo latches on, goes on and on about the same topic, and genuinely cannot tell that everyone around them checked out long ago. The word comes from "pelma," a dense sticky mass, which is exactly how it feels to be around one.
