Bandera de México
Bandera de Argentina

/Sounds like "pan" + "cheh" (as in "check" without the "ck") + "ro" (as in "wrote" without the "te")/

A drama queen — someone who makes a huge scene over the smallest things. In Mexico and Argentina, a panchero turns a glass of water into a tsunami. They exaggerate everything and love being the center of attention during any conflict.

Example

"No seas panchero, no pasó nada grave. → Don't be such a drama queen, nothing serious happened."

"Es bien panchero, por cualquier cosa arma un escándalo. → He's such a drama king, he makes a scene over anything."

Bandera de Chile

Inmediatamente, ahora mismo, ya, sin excusas ni retrasos en Chile. Cuando algo se hace altiro se hace ya de verdad, sin el ahorita mexicano ni el en un ratito ni ninguna otra forma de postergar.
