“The number of ninis went up a lot after the pandemic.”

Apantallar
To impress or dazzle someone, whether with money, skills, looks, or knowledge. In Mexico, apantallar often has a slightly ironic edge: the person showing off is trying a little too hard to get that admiring reaction. Think flashy cars, name-dropping, or pulling out a fancy move at exactly the right moment.
