/Sounds like "LEET" (as in "lead")/
Short for "literal," used as a filler word to emphasize that something actually happened exactly as described, no exaggeration. Across Spanish-speaking Gen Z, lit peppers sentences the same way "literally" does in English slang, especially when a story sounds too unbelievable and you need people to believe you.
“I literally fell asleep in class, I swear.”
“I literally haven't eaten anything all day, I'm starving.”

Estar en Babia
To be completely zoned out, with your mind somewhere else entirely. A classic Spanish expression, especially in Spain: the person who is "en Babia" is physically present but mentally checked out, not catching a single thing happening around them.
