Mate
/Sounds like "MAH" (as in "mark") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
The sacred Argentine and Uruguayan herbal infusion shared in rounds among friends. Mate isn't just a drink, it's a social ritual, a way of life, and practically a religion.
“Want some mates? I'll put the kettle on.”
“There's no study session without a good bitter mate.”
Mate
/Sounds like "MAH" (as in "mark") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Mexican slang for the head. Comes from Quechua "mati" (gourd), which traveled through Río de la Plata Spanish and spread further. Used for both the physical skull and the ability to think.
“He banged his head on the doorframe and was left dazed.”
“Use your head before you talk, because once something is said there is no taking it back.”

Mandar a freír espárragos
The elegant Spanish way of telling someone to go to hell without using profanity. When you're fed up and send someone a freír espárragos, you're telling them to get lost, but with class and Iberian vocabulary.
