Meaning
A Mexican adjective for someone dead, passed out, or frozen stiff from shock or exhaustion. Literally "stiff-footed," like a corpse. Enormously popularized by El Chavo del 8, where Don Ramón threatened to "leave El Chavo patitieso" in practically every episode. Today it is used humorously for anyone completely wrecked, passed out, or unable to move.
Examples
“I came back from the gym completely wrecked, I can't even stand up.”
“If they catch you driving like that, they'll lay you flat out.”

Vacile
Light flirting or playful romantic banter between two people. There is mutual attraction but no commitment or formality involved. In Spain, a vacile is that fun, low-stakes back-and-forth that could lead somewhere or just stay exactly as it is.
